Question

Peter mixes 4 cups of orange juice, 1 cups of ginger ale, and 6 cups of strawberry lemonade to make some punch. What is the totalnumber of cups of punch that Peter makes?C 1112

Answer 1

Given that Peter mixes

`\begin{gathered} 4(1)/(2)\text{ cups of }orange\text{ juice} \\ 1(1)/(3)\text{ cups of ginger }ale \\ 6(1)/(3)\text{ cups of }strawberry\text{ lemonade} \end{gathered}`

to make some punch, the total number of cups of punch that he makes is evaluated as

`\begin{gathered} 4(1)/(2)+1(1)/(3)+6(1)/(3) \\ =12(1)/(6) \end{gathered}`

Hence, the total number of cups is evaluated to be

`12(1)/(6)`
