Jesus mixed orange juice with 2 1/3 gallons of pineapple juice to make a total of 4 gallons of punch. How much orange juice did Jesus use for the punch?
4 = 3 3/3
3 3/3 - 2 1/3 = 1 2/3
To find out how much orange juice Jesus used for the punch, we need to subtract the amount of pineapple juice from the total amount of punch.
The total amount of punch is given as 4 gallons.
The amount of pineapple juice is given as 2 1/3 gallons.
To subtract 2 1/3 gallons from 4 gallons, we need to convert the mixed number 2 1/3 to an improper fraction.
First, we multiply the whole number (2) by the denominator (3) and add the numerator (1). This gives us 6 + 1 = 7.
Next, we write the result (7) over the denominator (3). This gives us 7/3.
Now we can subtract 7/3 from 4 using the same denominator:
4 - 7/3 = 12/3 - 7/3 = 5/3
Therefore, Jesus used 5/3 gallons of orange juice for the punch.
