Question

A recipe for punch calls for 2 3 cups of fruit concentrate

and 6 4 cups of water.
How many cups of punch will the recipe make?

Answer 1

To find the total amount of punch that the recipe will make, we need to add together the amount of fruit concentrate and the amount of water.

2 3 cups of fruit concentrate can be written as 2 + 3/4 cups.

6 4 cups of water can be written as 6 + 4/4 cups, or simply 7 cups.

Adding these quantities together, we get:

2 3/4 cups + 7 cups = 9 3/4 cups

Therefore, the recipe will make 9 3/4 cups of punch.
