To determine the number of cups of punch Peter makes, let’s evaluate the quantities of each component he uses and sum them up step-by-step.

1. Orange Juice:
Peter uses \(\( 4\frac{1}{2} \)\) cups of orange juice. In decimal form, this is 4.5 cups.

2. Ginger Ale:
Peter uses \(\( 1\frac{1}{2} \)\) cups of ginger ale. In decimal form, this is 1.5 cups.

3. Strawberry Lemonade:
Peter uses \(\( 6\frac{1}{2} \)\) cups of strawberry lemonade. In decimal form, this is 6.5 cups.

Now, let’s add these quantities together:

\(\[ 4.5 \text{ cups of orange juice} + 1.5 \text{ cups of ginger ale} + 6.5 \text{ cups of strawberry lemonade} \]\)

Adding them step-by-step:

\(\[ 4.5 + 1.5 = 6.0 \]\)

Next, add the remaining component:

\(\[ 6.0 + 6.5 = 12.5 \]\)

Therefore, Peter makes a total of 12.5 cups of punch.
