Question

To make fruit punch for a party, we need 4 1⁄2 gallons of ginger ale, 1 gallon of strawberry juice, 2 3⁄4 gallons of frozen orange sherbet, and 1⁄8 gallon of whole strawberries. How many gallons of punch will our recipe make?

Answer 1

8 3/8 gallons ksjahwbjducysgw

Answer 2

To solve this problem we need to add all of the quantities of ingredients together.

4 1/2 + 1 + 2 3/4 + 1/8 = our answer

So 4 + 1 + 2 is 7 

and then 1/2 + 3/4 + 1/8 is 11/8 or 1 3/8

Now we can add 7 to 1 and 3 /8 which would equal 8 and 3/8 

The correct answer would be: 8 3/8 gallons
