Question

Richard made punch for a party. He used 1/2 cup of pineapple juice, 1/2 cup of ginger ale, and 1/4 cup of white grape juice. How much liquid did he use in the punch?

Answer 1

1 and 1/4

To explain, two halves ( 1/2 ) are equal to 1 so after adding the two halves together you still have the remaining 1/4, which would be 1 and 1/4 because it cannot be simplified

Answer 2

1 and ¼ cup

½+½ is 1 full cup then do 1 cup+¼ to get 1 and¼
