40

B.

C.

D.

Answer 1

We need to convert the amount of punch to ounces since the serving size is given in ounces.

1 gallon = 128 ounces

Miriam makes 2 + 1/4 gallons of punch = 2 x 128 + 32 = 288 ounces of punch

Now we divide the total amount of punch by the serving size:

288 ÷ 4 = 72

Therefore, Miriam can serve 72 4-ounce servings of punch.

The answer is (D) 72
