This is Mrs. Treffy's secret recipe for Dragon Punch:

2 gal fruit punch

1 pint sprite

2 quart orange soda

(and instead of ice, scoops of rainbow sherbert!)

Will there be enough Dragon Punch for each of the 47 third graders to have 1 cup? Why or why not?

2 gal = 32 cups

1 pint = 2 cups

2 quart = 8 cups

32 + 2 + 8 = 42 cups


She will NOT have enough!
