Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A quart is 1/4 gallon, so the total of liquid ingredients for the punch is ...
(1 2/4 gal) +(3/4 gal) +(1 3/4 gal) = 2 8/4 gal = 4 gal
Samantha made 4 gallons of punch.
__
1 cup is 1/16 gallon, so 2 cups each for 25 students requires ...
(1/16 gal)(2)(25) = 50/16 gal = 3 1/8 gal
Samantha made more punch than that, so there will be enough for 2 1-cup servings for each student.
Answer:
-2.25
Step-by-step explanation:
These problems are what is known as changing a mixed fraction to an improper fraction. Lets start with 5 1/8.
What we want to do is take the big number on the side and add it to the top of the fraction in a special way to make it an improper fraction. (An improper fraction means a fraction with a bigger top than bottom).
To add 5 to 1/8, we have to multiply 5 by 8 and then add it. 5 times 8 is 40 so if we add that to the top we know that the improper fraction we are looking for is 41/8.
We can do the same thing for 3 4/12, multiply 3 by 12 and add it to the top of the fraction. 3 times 12 is 36, add that to the top to get 40/12.
See if you can do 1 6/12 and comment with an answer, if you get it wrong I will keep helping you till we get this down!

Set up a ratio...6/18=x/27...reduce to 1/3=x/27...cross multiply and solve for x.
3x=27 so x=9
