Question

Peter mixes 4 1/4 cups of orange juice, 2 1/2 cups of ginger ale, and 6 1/3 cups of strawberry lemonade to make some punch. What is the total number of cups of punch that Peter makes?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hey there...here is ur answer...

total number of cups of punch= 4 $\frac{1}{4}$ + 2 $\frac{1}{2}$ + 6 $\frac{1}{3}$

when we convert them into improper fraction from mixed fraction, we get...

=17/4 + 5/2 + 19/3

then we should convert them into like fractions...First, add the first two fractions and then add the result with the last fraction...

= 17/4 + 5*2/2*2 ( * means multiplied by )

= 17/4 + 10/4

= 27/4

Then convert the result and the last fraction into like fractions...

=27/4 + 19/3

= 27*3 / 4*3 + 19*4 / 3*4

= 81/12 + 76/12

= 157/12

= 13 $\frac{1}{12}$

So, Total number of cups of punch that Peter makes  is 13 $\frac{1}{12}$ cups or in improper fraction $\frac{157}{12}$ cups...

Thank you...please mark me as the brainliest...sorry for taking too much time...byeee......
