You can put this solution on YOUR website!
16 + 36 = 52 ounces of mixture.

each serving is 5 + 1/3 ounces which is equal to 16/3 ounces.

52 / (16/3) is the same as 52 * 3/16 which is equal to 156/16 servings.

156/16 servings is equal to 9 + 12/16 servings which is equal to 9 + 3/4 servings.

you will have 9 + 3/4 servings of 5 + 1/3 ounces each.

the total ounces of servings would be (9 + 3/4) * (5 + 1/3) which is equal to 39/4 * 16/3 which is equal to (39 * 16) / (4 * 3) which is equal to 13 * 4 which is equal to 52 total ounces of beverages.

this confirms the solution is correct.

depending on how you have to show it, your solution is:

156/16 servings or 9 + 3/4 servings or 9.75 servings.
