Answer:

58 bounces of fruits did Juliette purchased

Explanation:

Unit rate defined as the rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 4 feet per second or 6 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

As per the given statement: Juliette is making fruit salad. She purchased
9(2)/(3)ounces each of 6 different fruits.

Unit rate per fruits =
9(2)/(3)=(29)/(3) ounces.

Number of fruits = 6

Then;


\text{Total number of ounces of fruit} = \text{Unit rate per fruits} * \text{Number of fruits}

Substitute the given values we get;


\text{Total number of ounces of fruit} =(29)/(3) * 6 = 29 * 2 = 58

Therefore, 58 ounces of fruits did she purchased
