Answer 1

The total volume made is 544 fluid ounces of punch

Here, we want to get the amount of fluid ounces of punch made

What we have to do here is to convert each of the volumes to fluid ounces and add together

From the Cranberry juice;

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ gallon = 16 cups} \\ 3.5\text{ gallons will be = 3.5 }*\text{ 16 = 56 cups} \\ 1\text{ cup = 8 fluid oz} \\ 56\text{ cups will be; 56}*\text{ 8 = 448 fluid oz} \end{gathered}`

Now, for the orange juice;

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ gallon = 4 quarts} \\ 4\text{ quarts = 16 cups} \\ 3\text{ quarts = }(3*16)/(4)\text{ = 12 cups} \\ \\ 1\text{ cup = 8 fluid oz} \\ 12\text{ cups = 12 }*\text{ 8 = 96 fluid oz} \end{gathered}`

Here, to get the total number, we simply add

That will be;

`96\text{ + 448 = 544 fluid ounces}`
