To solve this problem, we need to figure out how many 4-ounce servings are in 2 1/4 gallons of punch.
First, we need to convert 2 1/4 gallons into ounces since we are given the serving size in ounces. There are 128 ounces in a gallon, so to convert gallons to ounces, we multiply the number of gallons by 128.
2 1/4 * 128 = 288 ounces
Now that we know there are 288 ounces of punch, we can find out how many 4-ounce servings there are by dividing the total number of ounces by the size of each serving.
288 / 4 = 72
Therefore, Miriam can serve 72 4-ounce servings of punch.
The correct answer is d. 72.
