Question

Heidi has 256 cups of frozen blueberries and 113 cups of fresh blueberries. Does she have enough blueberries to make a recipe that uses 4 cups of blueberries?

Answer 1

Heidi has enough blueberries

Explanation:

we know that

Heidi has
`2(5)/(6)` cups of frozen blueberries and
`1(1)/(3)` cups of fresh blueberries

so

First convert to an improper fractions

`2(5)/(6)=(2*6+5)/(6)=(17)/(6)`

`1(1)/(3)=(1*3+1)/(3)=(4)/(3)=(8)/(6)`

Sum the cups of blueberries

`(17)/(6)+(8)/(6)=(25)/(6)=(24)/(6)+(1)/(6)=4(1)/(6)\ cups`

`4(1)/(6)> 4`

therefore

Heidi has enough blueberries
