Answer 1

Valarie make
`1(2)/(3)\ cups` of fruit drink.

Explanation:

Given:

Valarie made fruit drinks for a birthday party.

She used 3/6 of a cup of grape juice, 5/6 of a cup of strawberry juice, and 2/6 cup of soda. She mixes all the juices together.

Now, to find cups of fruit drink Valarie make.

As given that she mixes all juices altogether.

So, to get the cups of fruit drink we add all quantities of juice:

3/6 cup of grape juice + 5/6 cup of strawberry juice + 2/6 cup of soda.

`=(3)/(6) + (5)/(6) +(2)/(6)`

`=(3+5+2)/(6)`

`=(10)/(6)`

Dividing numerator and denominator by 2 we get:

`=(5)/(3) =1(2)/(3)`

Therefore, Valarie make
`1(2)/(3)\ cups` of fruit drink .
