Answer:
Yes. (See below for explanation.)
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of servings is found by dividing the quantity available by the size of a serving. The quantity of punch is the sum of the quantities of the juices that go into the punch. The serving size of 3/4 cup is the same as 6 ounces, since a cup is 8 ounces. (3/4 × 8 oz = 6 oz)
The quantity available is (64 oz + 28 oz + 76 oz). The serving size is 6 oz. Since the units of numerator and denominator are the same, they cancel, leaving ...
... number of servings = (quantity available)/(serving size)
... = (64 +28 +76)/6 . . . . as shown in the problem statement

It might not be obvious that the above ratio gives the number of servings. However, if you look at the real units, you see how it happens.
