Answer 2

Answer: 6

Explanation:

Given : The total number of calories in Sameer's snack = 56

Calories in plum = 32

Then the calories in strawberries =
`56-32=24`

The number of calories in each strawberry = 4

Then , the number of strawberries he ate =
`\frac{\text{Total calories in strawberries}}{\text{calories in 1 strawberry}}`

`=(24)/(4)=6`

Hence, he ate 6 strawberries in Sameer's snack.
