Solution

Joe made 9 3/5 + 4 1/2 bottles of punch.

First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

9 3/5 = 48/5 (because 95 + 3 = 48) 4 1/2 = 9/2 (because 42 + 1 = 9)

Then, add the fractions.

48/5 + 9/2 = 96/10 + 45/10 = 141/10

Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number.

141/10 = 14 1/10

So, Joe made 14 1/10 bottles of punch.
