Answer 1

Question:

Kevin combines 5/3 pints of cranberry juice with 7/4 pints of apple juice. Will a 4-pint container be large enough to hold the total amount of fruit juice?

Answer:

A 4-pint container is large enough to hold the total amount of fruit juice

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Cranberry = \frac{5}{3}\ pints$

$Apple = \frac{7}{4}\ pints$

To solve the required, we simply add up the sizes of the Cranberry and Apple juices

i.e

$Total = \frac{5}{3} + \frac{7}{4}$

$Total = \frac{20 + 21}{12}$

$Total = \frac{41}{12}$

$Total = 3\frac{5}{12}$

The above total is less than 4 pints;

So, 4 pints will be enough
