Question

Mr. Hernandez combines 1 gallon of orange juice, 3 pints of pineapple juice, and 2 quarts of lemon‐lime soda to make punch for a party. He allows 2 cups of punch for each guest. Will there be enough punch to serve all 14 guests? How much, if any, punch will be left?

Answer 1

In total there are 30 cups and there are 2 left over

Explanation:

The first thing is to clarify the equivalences, we have to:

1 gallon = 4 quarts

1 quart = 2 pints

1 pint = 2 cups

We will pass everything to cups,

1 gallon of orange juice = 16 cups

3 pints of pineapple juice = 6 cups

2 quarts of lemon ‐ lime soda = 8 cups

So in total they would be 16 + 6 + 8 = 30 cups

How to get 2 cups for 14 guests in total would be 28 cups, which means that if 2 cups are left and left over.
