Answer:

Emelia made 5.85 liters fruit punch.

Step-by-step explanation:

Emelia mixed fruit juice = [tex]3\frac{1}{4}[/tex] liters

She mixed ice-cream soda = [tex]2\frac{3}{5}[/tex] liters

Now add both the numbers to get the amount of fruit punch she mixed.

[tex]3\frac{1}{4}[/tex] + [tex]2\frac{3}{5}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{13}{4}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{13}{5}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{65+52}{20}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{117}{20}[/tex]

= 5.85 liters.

Emelia made 5.85 liters fruit punch.
