Question

Dawn is having a party. She wants to make punch and the recipe calls for 4 pints of orange juice, 5 cups of apple juice, 1/2 gallon of lemonade, and 2 quarts of pineapple juice. When she mixes this altogether, how many gallons of punch did Dawn make?

Answer 1

1 13/16 gallons

1.8125 gallons

Explanation:

convert the measures that are not in gallons to gallon

1 pint = 1/8 gallon

4 x 1/8 = 1/2

1 cup =1/16 gallon

5 x 1/16 = 5/16

0.3125

1 quart = 1/4

1/4 x 2 = 1/2

Add these figures togehter

1/2 + 5/16 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 29 / 16 = 1 13/16 gallons
