For a family gathering, Marcos uses the recipe below to make a lemon-lime punch

1/4 gallon lime juice

2/3 gallon lemon juice

1 1/4 gallons carbonated water

How woul you decide the size of a container you need for one batch of the Lemon-Lime Punch?

You can decide the size of the container by adding up the volume of all the ingredients and getting the appropriate size.

Common denominator = 12

1/4 gallons = 3/12, 2/3 gallons = 8/12 gallons, 1 & 1/4 gallons = 15/12 gallons.

3/12 gallons + 8/12 gallons + 15/12 gallons = 26/12 gallons.

Therefore you need a container that can hold 3 gallons for the recipe.
