Answer:

C 1 8/12 + 2 3/12 + 2/12 =

Explanation:

Constituents of the fruit salad prepared by Emily:


  • \[1(2)/(3)\] cups of grapes

  • \[2(1)/(4)\] cups of strawberries

  • \[(1)/(6)\] cups of blueberries

This can be expressed as follows:


\[1(2)/(3)+2(1)/(4)+(1)/(6)\]

This can be equivalently expressed as :


\[1(8)/(12)+2(3)/(12)+(2)/(12)\]

Among the given options, this corresponds to option C.
