Question

How many 1/2 cups servings can be made from a fruit salad made from 1 cup of melon, 1/2 cup of strawberries, 2 cups of apples, 1 cup of bananas, 1 cup of blueberries, and 1/2 cup of kiwi?

Answer 1

STEP 1:
Find total cups in salad

= 1 + 1/2 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1/2
= 6 cups total

STEP 2:
divide total 6 cups by 1/2 cup portion size

= 6 ÷ 1/2
to divide fraction, multiply by reciprocal of 1/2
= 6 * 2/1
= 12 servings

ANSWER: There are 12 half cup portions in the 6 cup salad.

Hope this helps! :)
