Question

María is making fruto punch for her family reunión. She uses 6 quarts of ginger ale, 8 quarts of lemonade, and 10 quarts of raspberry juice. How many gallons of punch does her recipe make?

Answer 1

6 gallons of punch makes her recipe.

Explanation:

Given:

Quarts of ginger ale (g) = 6

Quarts of lemonade (l) = 8

Quarts of raspberry (r) = 10

Therefore, the total volume of fruto punch is equal to the sum of the volume of each of its ingredients.

So, Total volume =
`g+l+r`

Total volume = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24 quarts

Now, we know that,

1 quart = 0.25 gallons

Therefore, from unitary method,

24 quarts = 24 × 0.25 = 6 gallons of punch

Therefore, 6 gallons of punch makes her recipe.
