No she is not because a galloon equals 16 cups, a quart equals 4 cups, and a pint equals 2 cups. So altogether including the other 5 cups, it would be 27 cups.

Answer:

Kelly is wrong and the recipe will make 19 cups of punch.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The amount of ingredients in the recipe of punch after converting the units to 'cups' are given by,

Pineapple juice = 3 pints = 6 cups .......................(As 1 pint ≈ 2 cups)

Orange juice = 5 cups

Lemonade = [tex]\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex] gallon = 4 cups ...........................(As 1 gallon = 16 cups)

Apricot nectar = 1 quart = 4 cups .........................(As 1 quart = 4 cups)

Then, the total cups of punch = 6 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 19 cups.

Thus, Kelly is wrong and the recipe will make 19 cups of punch.
