Answer 1

1 gallon = 8 pints. 1 quart = 2 pints.
1 gallon 2 quarts 3 pints of orange juice = 15 pints
1 gallon 3 quarts 7 pints of pineapple juice = 21 pints
1 gallon 3 quarts 3 pints of ginger ale = 17 pints.
Total in pints: 53
Total = 6 gallon 2 quarts 1 pint.

Answer 2

The total liquid measure of the punch is:

6 gallons 2 quarts and 1 pint

Explanation:

Walt combines:

1 gallon 2 quarts 3 pints of orange juice

1 gallon 3 quarts 7 pints of orange juice

1 gallon 3 quarts 3 pints of ginger ale

If you add these quantities it becomes:

3 gallons 8 quarts 13 pints:

We know that 2 pints make a quart so 13 pints will make 6 quarts and 1 pint:

So quarts become = 8+6 =14quarts

Therefore it becomes,

3 gallons 14 quarts and 1 pint

Then,

4 quarts make a gallon, thus 14 quarts are 3 gallons and 2 quarts.

Therefore the gallons become = 3+3 = 6 gallons

Thus the total liquid measure of the punch is:

6 gallons 2 quarts and 1 pint....
