Answer 2

Answer:

12 servings.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been Joanna mixed 1/4 gallon of orange juice and 1/2 gallon of pineapple juice to make punch.

First of all, we will find amount of punch by adding amount of orange juice and pineapple juice as:

$\text{Amount of punch}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$

Make a common denominator:

$\text{Amount of punch}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1*2}{2*2}$

$\text{Amount of punch}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}$

$\text{Amount of punch}=\frac{1+2}{4}$

$\text{Amount of punch}=\frac{3}{4}$

Now, we will divide total amount of punch by amount of each serving to find number of servings.

$\text{Number of servings}=\frac{3}{4}\div \frac{1}{16}$

Convert to multiplication problem by flipping the 2nd fraction:

$\text{Number of servings}=\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{16}{1}$

$\text{Number of servings}=3\times 4$

$\text{Number of servings}=12$

Therefore, Jonna can make 12 servings of punch shake.
