Answer 1

Faith's receipe makes 5 quarts of fruit
punch. If the cranberry juice is not
included, how much punch is made?
2 1/4 qt orange juice
3/4 qt pineapple juice
1 2/3 qt cranberry juice (not use)
1/3 qt apple juice

Answer 2

2 1/4 + 3/4 + 1/3

2 3/12 + 9/12 + 4/12

27/12 + 9/12 + 4/12 = 40/12 = 3 4/12 = 3 1/3

Or the easier way:

5 - 1 2/3 = 3 1/3
