Answer:
3 containers.
Step-by-step explanation:
You need the amount of orange juice to make fruit punch = [tex]3\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pints or [tex]\frac{15}{4}[/tex] pints
Orange juice is sold in containers of [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] pints. or [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] pints
Let the number of containers you buy be x.
[tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]x > [tex]\frac{15}{4}[/tex]
x > [tex]\frac{\frac{15}{4} }{\frac{3}{2} }[/tex]
x > [tex]\frac{15}{4}[/tex] × [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
x > [tex]\frac{5}{2}[/tex]
x > [tex]2\frac{1}{2}[/tex] containers ≈ 3 containers
You have to buy 3 containers.
