Answer:

1 . There will be enough cup of punch to serve all 14 guest

2. There will be 2 cups of punch left.

Explanation:

Mr Hernandez combines 1 gallon of orange juice, 3 pint of pineapple juice and 2 quarts of lemon-lime soda to make punch for a party.

This combination makes up the punch. We have to convert to cups to ascertain if the punch will be enough to serve 14 guest which are entitle to 2 cups of punch. The 14 guest will consume a total of 28 cups of punch .

1 gallon of orange juice = 16 cups of orange juice

1 pint = 2 cups

3 pints of pineapple = 6 cups

1 quarts = 4 cups

2 quarts of lemon-lime soda = 8 cups

When you combine all the cups together, the total punch will be = 16 + 6 + 8 = 30 cups of punch.

The guest will consume a total of 14 × 2 = 28 cups of punch. There will be 30 - 28 = 2 cups of punch left.
