To make punch for the class party, Mrs.Lui mixed 1 and 1/3 cups orange juice, 3/4 cup apple juice, 2/3 cup cranberry juice, and 3/4 cup lemon-lime soda. Mixed together, how many cups of punch does the recipe make?
Step-by-step explanation: First you have to convert the fractions so that they all have the same denominator. Using 12 will be the easiest. 1 and 1/3 equals 16/12 because 1/3 equals 4/12 and 1 equals 12/12. 3/4 equals 9/12. 2/3 equals 8/12. And 3/4 equals 9/12 again. 16/12 plus 9/12 plus 8/12 plus 9/12 equals 42/12. 42/12 in the simplest form would be 3 and 1/2, because 42 divided by 12 is 3.5.
