2
5
liters of cranberry juice and 1
3
5
liters of pineapple juice together. Then, she split the fruit punch evenly among 9 glasses. How much fruit punch did Kelly pour into each glass?
To find the total amount of fruit punch, we need to add the amounts of cranberry juice and pineapple juice together: 1 2/5 + 1 3/5 = 2 5/5 = 3 liters
To find how much fruit punch Kelly poured into each glass, we divide the total amount of fruit punch by the number of glasses: 3 liters / 9 glasses = <<3/9=1/3>>1/3 liters/glass. Answer: \boxed{1/3}.
To find out how much fruit punch Kelly poured into each glass, we need to divide the total amount of fruit punch by the number of glasses.
First, we need to find the total amount of fruit punch. Kelly mixed 1
2
5
liters of cranberry juice and 1
3
5
liters of pineapple juice together.
1
2
5
+ 1
3
5
= 12/5 + 13/5
= (12 + 13)/5
= 25/5
= 5
So, the total amount of fruit punch is 5 liters.
Next, we need to divide the total amount of fruit punch by the number of glasses, which is 9.
5 / 9 = 0.5
Therefore, Kelly poured 0.5 liters of fruit punch into each glass.
