    3089/11220

    Approximately = 0.2753

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Patel estimates that he needs 2 cups of Orange juice.

    But let's know the amount he already has.

    4/17 + 3/10 + 9/20 + 3/11 + 7/15

    = 3/10 + 9/20 + 7/15 + 3/11 + 4/17

    = (18 + 27 + 28) / 60 + (51+44) / 187

    = 73/60 + 95/187

    = (13651 + 5700) / 11220

    = 19351/11220

    = 1 (8131/11220)

    So to complete it two he needs (11220-8131) / 11220 = 3089/11220

    Approximately = 0.2753
