Patel squeezed oranges so that his family could have fresh-squeezed juice for breakfast. He squeezed 4/17 cups from the first orange, 3/10 cups from the second orange, 9/20cups from the third orange, 3/11 cups from the fourth orange, and 7/15 cups from the fifth orange. Patel estimates that he needs 2 cups of orange juice for his family. About how much more orange juice does he need to reach his estimate

He needs 0.275 cups of orange juice to reach his estimates

Step-by-step explanation:

Patel estimates he needs 2 cups of orange juice for his family . He squeezed fresh juice from 5 different oranges and got the following quantities measured in cups.

4/17 cups, 3/10 cups , 9/20 cups, 3/11 cups and 7/15 cups.

Adding them together we will know the amount he got. Therefore,

4/17 + 3/10 + 9/20 + 3/11 + 7/15

(40 + 51)/170  + 9/20 + 3/11 + 7/15

91/170 + 9/20 + (45 + 77)/165

(1820 + 1530)/3400 + 122/165

3350/3400 + 122/165

0.98529411764 + 0.73939393939

1.72468805703

Patel got approximately 1.725 cups of orange juice . He will  require 2 - 1.725 = 0.275 cups of orange juice to reach his estimates.
