GIVEN: Sadie is making punch for her soccer team picnic. She uses [tex]8[/tex] quarts of lemon lime soda, [tex]4[/tex] pints of vanilla ice cream and [tex]8[/tex] cups of orange juice.

TO FIND: How many gallons of punch will she have.

SOLUTION:

Amount of lemon lime soda punch [tex]=8\text{ quarts}[/tex]

Amount of vanilla ice cream punch [tex]=4\text{ pints}[/tex]

Amount of orange juice punch [tex]=8\text{ cups}[/tex]

Now,

total lemon lime soda punch [tex]=2\text{ gallon}[/tex]

[tex]1\text{ gallon}=8\text{ pint}[/tex]

total vanilla ice cream punch [tex]=0.5 \text{gallon}[/tex]

[tex]1\text{ gallon}=15.77\text{ cups}[/tex]

total orange juice punch [tex]=0.51\text{ gallon}[/tex]

Hence total gallon of punch [tex]=2+0.5+0.51[/tex]
