the table shows the amount of each type of juice in fruit punch. what is the total amount of juice in the fruit punch? write your answer as a mixed number. type of juice amount (cups) apple $3\frac{2}{3}$ orange $\frac{2}{3}$ cranberry $\frac{1}{3}$

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Add the amounts of each juice

We need to add $3\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3}$. First, convert the mixed - number to an improper fraction. $3\frac{2}{3}=\frac{3\times3 + 2}{3}=\frac{11}{3}$.

Step2: Add the fractions

$\frac{11}{3}+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{11 + 2+1}{3}=\frac{14}{3}$.

Step3: Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number

$\frac{14}{3}=4\frac{2}{3}$ since $14\div3 = 4$ with a remainder of $2$.

Answer:

$4\frac{2}{3}$ cups
