Question

samantha is making punch for a class picnic. there are 25 students in her class. Samantha uses 1 gallon 2 quarts of orange juice, 3 quarts of lemonade, and 1 gallon 3 quarts of sparkling water. How much punch did samantha make? will there be enough for each student to make two 1 cup servings of punch?

Answer 1

Answer:

• 4 gallons
• yes

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.
