Patel

Patel squeezed oranges so that his family could have fresh-squeezed juice for breakfast. He squeezed 4/17 cups from the first orange, 3/10 cups from the second orange, 9/20 cups from the third orange, 3/11 cups from the fourth orange, and 7/15 cups from the fifth orange. Patel estimates that he needs 2 cups of orange juice for his family. About how much more orange juice does he need to reach his estimate?

Correct answer:

x =  0.2753

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{4}{17}+\frac{3}{10}+\frac{9}{20}+\frac{3}{11}+\frac{7}{15}\doteq 1.7247 \\ x=2-V=2-1.7247=0.2753 \end{gathered}$$
