Mike is preparing refreshments for a party. To make a smoothie, he will mix 3 1⁄2 quarts of strawberry puree with 2 pints of lemonade and 1 1⁄4 gallons of water. How much smoothie will he make?
Accepted Solution
A:
Let's convert all volumes into pint:
1 Quart = 2 pints → 3.5 quart of strawberry = 2 x 3.5 = 7 pints Strawberry 1 Gallon = 8 pints →1.25 Ga. water = 1.25 x 8 = 10 pints Water 2 pints of limonade = 2 pints of limonade
Add up all pints Total = 7+10+2 = 19 pints of smoothie
