Answer 2

Answer: 1.72 liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Jessica makes punch for her party.

The amount of orange juice she for fruit punch = 1.6 liters

According to the question ,

The amount of cranberry juice she uses = 0.5 x (amount of orange juice)

= 0.5 x (1.6) liters

= 0.08 liters

The amount of apple juice = 0.5 x (amount of cranberry juice)

= 0.5 x (0.08 liters)

= 0.04 liters

Now , the total amount of juice in Jessicas's punch = (amount of orange juice) + (amount of cranberry juice) + (amount of apple juice )

= (1.6+0.08+0.04) liters

= 1.72 liters

Hence, the total amount of juice in Jessicas's punch is 1.72 liters.
