Question

Tom made fruit punch for a party. He mixed 2 gallons of orange juice, 4 quarts of pineapple juice, 3 pints of cranberry juice, and 8 cups of apple juice. How many quarts did he make in all? (2 points)

Answer 1

15.5 quarts

Explanation:

1.5 +8 + 4 + 2

there is need to convert the measures that are not in quarts to quarts

1 gallon = 4 quarts : 2 x 4 = 8 quarts

1 cup = 0.25 quarts : 0,25 x 8 = 2 quarts

1 pint = 0.5 quarts : 0.5 x 3 = 1.5 quarts

Total quarts = 1.5 +8 + 4 + 2 = 15.5 quarts
