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

Answer 1

To find the total number of cups of punch, we need to add up the amount of each ingredient Peter used.

4 1/3 + 2 1/3 + 6 1/2

First, convert all the fractions to a common denominator:

4 1/3 = 13/3
2 1/3 = 7/3
6 1/2 = 13/2

Adding the fractions:

13/3 + 7/3 + 13/2 = (26 + 14 + 39)/6 = 79/6

Now, convert the fraction back to a mixed number:

79/6 = 13 1/6

Therefore, Peter makes a total of 13 1/6 cups of punch.
