Answer 2

The total number of cups of punch that Peter makes is $12\frac{1}{6}$ cups

Solution:

Given that,

$Orange\ juice = 4\frac{1}{2}\ cups = \frac{9}{2}\ cups$

$Ginger\ ale = 1\frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{3}\ cups\\\\Strawberry = 6\frac{1}{3} = \frac{19}{3}\ cups$

What is the total number of cups of punch that Peter makes?

Total number of cups = orange juice + ginger ale + strawberry

$\text{Total } = \frac{9}{2} + \frac{4}{3} + \frac{19}{3}\\\\\text{Total } =\frac{9}{2} + \frac{23}{3}\\\\\text{Total } = \frac{27}{6} + \frac{46}{6}\\\\\text{Total } = \frac{73}{6} = 12\frac{1}{6}$

Thus, the total number of cups of punch that Peter makes is $12\frac{1}{6}$ cups
