Answer 1

Question:

Kevin combines 5/3 pints of cranberry juice with 7/4 pints of apple juice. Will a 4-pint container be large enough to hold the total amount of fruit juice?

Answer:

A 4-pint container is large enough to hold the total amount of fruit juice

Explanation:

Given

`Cranberry = (5)/(3)\ pints`

`Apple = (7)/(4)\ pints`

To solve the required, we simply add up the sizes of the Cranberry and Apple juices

i.e

`Total = (5)/(3) + (7)/(4)`

`Total = (20 + 21)/(12)`

`Total = (41)/(12)`

`Total = 3(5)/(12)`

The above total is less than 4 pints;

So, 4 pints will be enough
