they eat

Answer 1

They ate
`2(1)/(4)` cups of fruit salad

Explanation:

Zoey made
`6(3)/(4)` cups of fruit salad for a picnic.

They ate
`(1)/(3)` of the fruit salad.

We have to calculate
`(1)/(3)` of the
`6(3)/(4)`

`6(3)/(4)` ×
`(1)/(3)`

=
`(27)/(4)` ×
`(1)/(3)` =
`(9)/(4)`

They ate
`2(1)/(4)` cups of fruit salad
