Question

Question 1 Roger is planning a party. He needs these ingredients in the following quantities to make punch: quarts orange juice cups cranberry juice ginger ale pint pineapple juice Roger knows he will need a relatively large container to mix the punch. Unfortunately, all he can find is a bowl that holds of liquid. He is not sure whether he can fit all of the ingredients in the bowl at the same time. Use the following measurement equivalents to determine if Roger can use the bowl to mix all the ingredients for the punch. Show your work. If he can use the bowl, he needs to determine how many of liquid could still fit into the bowl. If he cannot use the bowl, he needs to determine how many extra liters of liquid there are. Round your answers to the nearest tenth of a liter. is about cups, , , and

Answer 1

To determine if all the ingredients can fit in the bowl, we need to convert the quantities into the same unit of measurement.

1 quart is equal to 4 cups.
3 cups is already in cups.
1 pint is equal to 2 cups.

So the total quantity in the bowl will be:
4 cups of orange juice + 3 cups of cranberry juice + 2 cups of ginger ale + 2 cups of pineapple juice = 11 cups.

Now let's convert the measurement of the bowl into cups.
quarts is equal to 8 cups.

If the bowl can hold cups of liquid, and the total quantity needed is 11 cups, then the bowl can fit all the ingredients and there would be no extra space.

Therefore, Roger can use the bowl to mix all the ingredients for the punch.
