"a guest orders a drink that contains 1½ ounces of 80-proof vodka and 12 ounces of beer. approximately how many drinks does this beverage contain?"

Respuesta :

A guest orders a drink = 1½ ounces of 80-proof vodka and 12 ounces of beer
it means it contains 2 drinks.
Because 3 ounces of 80 proof vodka is considered as 2 drinks and half of that will be considered as 1 drink, and 12 ounces of beer is considered as one drink so the total drinks this beverage contains is two drinks.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{27}{2}[/tex] ounces or two type of drinks

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of 80-proof vodka in the drink = [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ounces

Quantity of beer in the drink = 12 ounces

So, total quantity of drink = Quantity of 80-proof vodka in the drink + Quantity of beer in the drink = [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ounces + 12 ounces

To add: [tex]1\frac{1}{2},12[/tex]

Here, [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] is a mixed fraction. ( 1 is a whole number and [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]  is a proper fraction as the numerator is greater than the denominator )

We can write [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] in improper fraction as [tex]1\frac{1}{2}=1+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]1\frac{1}{2}+12=\frac{3}{2}+12=\frac{3+24}{2}=\frac{27}{2}[/tex]

Also, we can say that the beverage contains two type of drinks.
