If I can make of what you are asking... You are asking how many ounces are in one pitch.

Okay... So Sally as seven or several... pitches. If I am right pitches is just a random measure of liquid for the sake of this question? So then you state some pitches can hold 64 ounces and some can hold 48 ounces?

Looking at the question, it looks like you are missing something in the second sentence. But nevertheless... I

l'll try to work around it.

So... $$(x*64)+(4*48)=y$$

$$x$$ being the around of bigger pitches

$$y$$ being the total amount of lemonade.

So... $$64x+192=y$$

Or.. $$64*(\frac{1}{64}y-3)=y$$

If you simplify that:

$$0.015625*64y-192=x$$

$$0.015625*64y=x$$

$$y=x...?$$

And then I get this... Which is... not mathematically correct....

That is as far as I can do it while trying to understand that question...

And I feel like a made a mistake...
