Question

Walt is mixing fruit punch for a party. He combines 1 gallon 2 quarts 3 pints of orange juice, 1 gallon 3 quarts 7 pints of pineapple juice, and 1 gallon 3 quarts 3 pints of ginger ale. What's the total liquid measure of the punch? A. 6 gal. 2 qt. 2 pt. B. 5 gal. 3 qt. 1 pt. C. 6 gal. 2 qt. 1 pt. D. 6 gal. 3 qt. 1 pt.

Answer 1

The answer is C. 6 gal.  2 qt.  1pt
there are already three gallons so
1 gal + 1 gal + 1 gal = 3 gal
1 gal = 4q
2 q + 3q + 3q = 8q = 2 gal
1 gal = 8p
3p + 7p + 3p = 13p - 8p = 5p
2p = 1q
5p - 4p = 1p
Hope it helps
