She can make #24# servings.

Explanation:

Cassie uses #1# quart cranberry juice, which means #32# ounces as each quart is #32# ounces.

She uses #1/2# gallon ginger ale and as each gallon is equal to #128# ounces, #1/2# of gallon ginger ale is #128xx1/2=64# ounces.

She further uses #1 1/2# pints of orange juice and as each pint is #16# ounces, #1 1/2=3/2# pints of orange juice means #3/2xx16=48# ounces of orange juice.

Hence in all it makes #32+64+48=144# ounces of fruit punch.

As she makes #6#-ounce servings, she can make #144/6=24# servings.
