Kelly is having a party. She wants to make punch. The recipe for punch uses 4 pints of pineapple juice, 7 cups of orange juice, 1
4
gallon of lemonade, and 1 quart of apricot nectar.

Kelly says her recipe will make 24 cups of punch.

Is Kelly correct?

Complete the explanation about your answer.

No
. The recipe will make
cups of punch.

You converted all the measurements to cups: 4 pints of pineapple juice =
8
cups;
1
4
gallon of lemonade =
cups, 1 quart of apricot nectar =
cups.

Then you found the total number of cups including the 7 cups of orange juice.
Kelly decides to pour her punch into 1−quart containers to fit into her refrigerator until the party starts. She has five 1−quart containers.

Will all of her punch fit into the containers?
No
.

One 1−quart container will hold
cups of punch. Five 1−quart containers will hold
cups of punch. Kelly has 23 cups of punch.

Since 23
>
20, all of the punch
will not
fit into the five 1−quart containers.
