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.
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?
