To make a batch of

fruit punch, Steve needs 2  2/3 cups

blackberry juice.  If he wants to make 2  ¾ batches of punch, how many cups of

blackberry juice will he need?

Verified Answer :

Steve wants to make 2+3/4 batches=24/4+3/4=11/4. He needs 2+2/3 cups=23/3+2/3=8/3. 11/4*8/3=88/12. You can see both have a factor 2, so 88/12=44/6 and again 44/6=22/3. 22 cannot be devided by 3 but division with rest gives 22/3 = 7 + 1/3.
