Explanation:

Answer 2

4.56 ounces

Explanation:

Amount of Strawberries (S) = 8.15 ounces

Amount of blue berries (B) = 6.26 ounces

Total quantity = B+S = 8.15 + 6.26 = 14.41 ounces

This mixture is poured equally in 3 cups and then them 0.73 ounces of fruit are left over.

Lets assume amount of fruit in each bowl = x ounce

Thus,

`3x + 0.73 = 14.41`

`3x = 14.41 - 0.73`

`x = (13.68)/(3)`

`x = 4.56`

Around 4.56 ounces of fruit are in each bowl.
