Answer:

2 3/4 cups

Explanation:

Jessica made 6 19/20 cups of punch. Her punch had two different types of juices in it. If the lunch had 4 1/5 cups of one type of juice, how many cups of the other type of juice did it have?

We solve this question using the Subtraction operation

Total cups = cups of first type of juice + cup of other type of juice

6 19/20 = 4 1/5 cups + x

x = 6 19/20 - 4 1/5 cups

Lowest Common Denominator = 20

x = 6 - 4 + (19/20 - 1/5)

x = 2 + (19 - 4/20)

x = 2 15/20 cups

x = 2 3/4 cups

Other type of juice had 2 3/4 cups of juice
