Answer:
Therefore, the volume of the mixture in the pitcher is 11 cups.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ryan’s mixture in the pitcher consists of the following:
1 cup of syrup
1 pint of water
2 quarts of pure pineapple juice
Let’s convert the measurements to cups:
1 pint is equal to 2 cups (since 1 pint = 16 fluid ounces, and 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces).
2 quarts is equal to 8 cups (since 1 quart = 4 cups).
Now add up the volumes:
[ \text{Total volume} = 1 \text{ cup (syrup)} + 2 \text{ cups (water)} + 8 \text{ cups (pineapple juice)} = 11 \text{ cups} ]
