Which is your answer? 7.3 or 8 cups?
My answer is 8 cups
Wrong.
8/3 * 11/4 = ?
To find out how many cups of blackberry juice Larry will need to make 2 3/4 batches of punch, we need to multiply the amount needed for one batch (2 2/3 cups) by the number of batches.
First, let's convert 2 2/3 to an improper fraction. That would be (2 * 3 + 2) / 3 = 8/3.
Next, we multiply 8/3 by 2 3/4 to find out the total amount of blackberry juice needed.
To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators and multiply the denominators:
(8/3) * (11/4) = (8 * 11) / (3 * 4) = 88/12.
Now, let's simplify this fraction. Both the numerator (88) and denominator (12) are divisible by 4:
88/12 = (22 * 4) / (3 * 4) = 22/3.
Lastly, let's convert the fraction back to a mixed number. 22 divided by 3 equals 7 with a remainder of 1, so the answer is 7 1/3 cups of blackberry juice.
Therefore, Larry will need 7 1/3 cups of blackberry juice to make 2 3/4 batches of fruit punch, which is approximately 7.3 cups (or rounded to 8 cups).
