Question

Joaquin used 1-3/6 cups of apple juice and 1-4/6 cups of orange juice in a recipe for punch. How much juice did Joaquin use?Solve this problem any way you choose.

Answer 1

The answer is 3 and 1/6 cups.

Explanation:

If Joaquin used 1 and 3/6 cups of apple juice and 1 and 4/6 cups of orange juice for the punch, there is a total of 2 cups and the fractions can be added as their denominators are the same.

3/6 + 4/6 = 7/6 cups

So the total juice in the punch is 3 and 1/6 cups.

I hope this answer helps.
