Answer:

• 105 cups

,

• No

Explanation:

The donations received so far are"

• Enough mix to make 3 gallons of lemonade

,

• 7 bottles of fruit juice that each contain 64 fl. Oz.

First, convert each of these to cups.

(a)3 gallons of lemonade

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{1 gallon}=16\text{ cups} \\ \implies3\text{ gallons }=16\times3=48\text{ cups} \end{gathered}[/tex]

3 gallons of lemonade is equivalent to 48 cups.

(b)7 bottles of fruit juice that each contain 64 fl. Oz.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\text{ fl.Oz}=0.125\text{ cup} \\ 7\times64\text{ fl.Oz}=7\times64\times0.125=56\text{ cups} \end{gathered}[/tex]

7 bottles of fruit juice that each contain 64 fl. Oz. is equivalent to 56 cups.

Add the two together:

[tex]48+56=104\text{ cups}[/tex]

• You have 105 cups of beverage.

,

• Since you need at least 120 cups, you will ,NOT HAVE ENOUGH, for the barbecue.
