$\frac{?}{?}$ cups
type of juice | amount (cups)--- | ---apple | $3\frac{2}{3}$orange | $\frac{2}{3}$cranberry | $\frac{1}{3}$

Explanation:

Step1: List all juice amounts

Apple: $3\frac{2}{3}$ cups, Orange: $\frac{2}{3}$ cups, Cranberry: $\frac{1}{3}$ cups

Step2: Add the fractional parts first

$\frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2+2+1}{3} = \frac{5}{3}$

Step3: Convert improper fraction to mixed

$\frac{5}{3} = 1\frac{2}{3}$

Step4: Add to the whole number part

$3 + 1\frac{2}{3} = 4\frac{2}{3}$

Answer:

$4\frac{2}{3}$ cups
