A double recipe of punch will contain 310 fluid ounces.

Here's how to calculate the total fluid ounces in a double recipe of punch:

Step 1: Convert larger units to ounces.

2 quarts of ginger ale = 2 quarts * 32 ounces/quart = 64 ounces.

3 pints of orange juice = 3 pints * 16 ounces/pint = 48 ounces.

2 pints of pineapple juice = 2 pints * 16 ounces/pint = 32 ounces.

Step 2: Add all ingredients together.

Total ounces = Ginger ale + Orange juice + Pineapple juice + Lemon juice + Lime juice

Total ounces = 64 + 48 + 32 + 8 + 3 = 155 ounces

Step 3: Calculate the double recipe volume.

Total volume of double recipe = 155 ounces x 2 = 310 ounces

Therefore, a double recipe of punch will contain 310 fluid ounces.

Complete question:

A punch recipe calls for 2 quarts of ginger ale, 3 pints of orange juice, 2 pints of pineapple juice, 1 cup of lemon juice, and 3 ounces of lime juice. Edna plans to make a double recipe. How many fluid ounces will there be in a double recipe of punch?
