Q:

Peter mixes 4 1/2 cups of orange juice, 1 1/3 cups of ginger ale, and 6 1/3 cups of strawberry lemonade to make some punch. What is the total number of cups of punch that peter makes?

Accepted Solution

A:
just add them all:(FYI, I first converted all the mixed fraction to improper)
11/3+19/3= 30/3+9/2
Now take out the LCM,
60/6+27/6= 87/6
Hence, the total number of cups that peter makes is 87/6
