Answer 1

Answer:

1  2/3 cups of fruit drink Valarie make.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Valarie made fruit drinks for her friends birthday party.

She used 3/6 of a cup of grape juice, 5/6 of a cup of strawberry juice, and 2/6 cup of soda.

She mixes all the juices together.

Now, to find cups of fruit drink Valarie make.

As given in question she mixes all juices altogether.

So, to get the cups of fruit drink we add all quantities of juice:

3/6 cup of grape juice + 5/6 cup of strawberry juice + 2/6 cup of soda

$=\frac{3}{6} + \frac{5}{6} +\frac{2}{6}$

$=\frac{3+5+2}{6}$

$=\frac{10}{6}$

Dividing numerator and denominator by 2 we get:

$=\frac{5}{3} =1\frac{2}{3}$

Therefore, 1  2/3 cups of fruit drink Valarie make.
