Kelly is having a party. She wants to make punch. The recipe for punch uses 2 pints of pineapple juice, 3 cups of orange juice, 3/4 gallon of lemonade, and 2 quarts of apricot nectar.

Kelly says her recipe will make 28 cups of punch.

Is Kelly correct?

No, because if you add it up all together her recipe does not call for 20 cups.

Kelly is not correct. There are 2 cups in a pint resulting in 4 cups of pineapple juice. We already know that we have 3 cups of orange juice. There are 16 cups in a gallon and we divide that by 4 and multiply it by 3 to find that there are 12 cups in 3/4 of a gallon. There are 4 cups in a quart resulting in 8 cups of apricot nectar. We then add everything together. 4+3+12+8=27 cups of punch.
