Example 26: Avan ka buys 3 L 245 mL of orange juice and 4 L 320 mL of apple juice, and
prepares fruit punch by mixing the juices. She pours 1 L 450 mL of fruit punch
into the glasses. How much fruit punch is s ll le ?
Solu on: Amount of orange juice bought by Avan ka
Calcula on
= 3 L 245 mL L mL

Amount of apple juice bought by Avan ka 3 2 4 5
= 4 L 320 mL + 4 3 2 0

 Amount of fruit punch prepared on mixing 7 5 6 5
both the juices = 3 L 245 mL + 4 L 320 mL
L mL
= 7 L 565 mL
7 5 6 5
Thus, the amount of fruit punch le a er she
– 1 4 5 0
poured 1 L 450 mL of it into the glasses
6 1 1 5
= 7 L 565 mL – 1 L 450 mL = 6 L 115 mL

So, 6 L 115 mL of fruit punch is s ll le .
