CORRECT QUESTION:

Kelly is having a party. She wants to make punch and have everything set up before the guests arrive at 1:30.

The recipe for punch uses 3 pints of pineapple juice, 5 cups of ginger ale,  ¼ gallon of lemonade, and 1 quart of apricot nectar. Kelly says her recipe will make 20 cups of punch. Is Kelly correct?

To find out, if Kelly is correct, we need to convert all the values to cups.

3 pints of pineapple = ( 1 pint = 2 cups) ∴ 3 pints = 3 × 2 = 6 cups

ginger ale is in cups already = 5 cups.

¼ gallon of lemonade, = ( 1 gallon = 16 cups) ∴ ¼ gallon = ¼ × 16 = 4 cups

1 quart of apricot nectar = (1 quart = 4 cups) ∴ 1 quart = 1 × 4 = 4 cups.

summation of all the converted values gives,

6 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 19 cups.

Kelly is wrong, Her recipe will make 19 cups.
