Question

Jonna mixes 1/4 gallon of orange juice and 1/2 gallon of pineapple juice to make punch

. Each serving is 1/16 gallon. How many servings can jonna make

Answer 1

12 servings

Explanation:

Number of gallons of orange juice mixed in punch =
`(1)/(4)`

Number of gallons of pineapple juice mixed in punch =
`(1)/(2)`

Total numbers of gallons made by mixing orange and pineapple juice =
`(1)/(4) + (1)/(2) = (2+1)/(4) = (3)/(4)`

Each serving is
`(1)/(16)` so we will divide the total number of gallons by each serving of gallon to find the total number of servings that can be made.

`((3)/(4) )/((1)/(16) )`

`= (3)/(4)` ×
`(16)/(1)`

`=12`

Therefore, Jonna can make 12 servings.

Answer 2

Answer: There are 12 servings which can be made by Jonna.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of gallon of orange juice is mixed to make punch is given by

`(1)/(4)`

Number of gallon of pineapple juice is mixed to make punch is given by

`(1)/(2)`

Number of gallon in each serving is given by

`(1)/(16)`

Now, we need to find the number of servings Jonna can make ,

So, it will be

`\text{Number of servings}=((1)/(4)+(1)/(2))/((1)/(16))\\\\\text{Number of servings}=((1+2)/(4))/((1)/(16))\\\\\text{Number of servings}=(3* 16)/(4)\\\\\text{Number of servings}=3* 4=12`

So, there are 12 servings which can be made by Jonna.
