Answer 1

1/4 + 1/2 = 3/4 gallon
3/4 divided by 1/16 is 12

Answer = Jonna can make 12 servings

Answer 2

12 servings.

Explanation:

We have been Joanna mixed 1/4 gallon of orange juice and 1/2 gallon of pineapple juice to make punch.

First of all, we will find amount of punch by adding amount of orange juice and pineapple juice as:

`\text{Amount of punch}=(1)/(4)+(1)/(2)`

Make a common denominator:

`\text{Amount of punch}=(1)/(4)+(1*2)/(2*2)`

`\text{Amount of punch}=(1)/(4)+(2)/(4)`

`\text{Amount of punch}=(1+2)/(4)`

`\text{Amount of punch}=(3)/(4)`

Now, we will divide total amount of punch by amount of each serving to find number of servings.

`\text{Number of servings}=(3)/(4)/ (1)/(16)`

Convert to multiplication problem by flipping the 2nd fraction:

`\text{Number of servings}=(3)/(4)* (16)/(1)`

`\text{Number of servings}=3* 4`

`\text{Number of servings}=12`

Therefore, Jonna can make 12 servings of punch shake.
