Patel squeezed oranges so that his family could have fresh-squeezed juice for breakfast. He squeezed StartFraction 4 over 17 EndFraction cups from the first orange, StartFraction 3 over 10 EndFraction cups from the second orange, StartFraction 9 over 20 EndFraction cups from the third orange, StartFraction 3 over 11 EndFraction cups from the fourth orange, and StartFraction 7 over 15 EndFraction 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?

Step-by-step explanation:

Juice squeezed from first orange = = 0.235

Juice squeezed from second orange = = 0.3

Juice squeezed from third orange = = 0.45

Juice squeezed from fourth orange = = 0.27

Juice squeezed from fifth orange = = 0.47

Total juice squeezed from all the five oranges = 0.235 + 0.3 + 0.45 + 0.27 + 0.47 = 1.725

Total juice to be squeezed = 2 cups

More juice required = 2 - 1.725 = 0.275

Therefore, to make it 2 cups of orange juice for the family, about cups of more juice is required.
