Convert the fractions to decimals

2.5+2.5=5

5 cups

Answer 2

5 cups

Explanation:

To find the total amount of yogurt Mark used, we need to add the amount of vanilla yogurt and the amount of strawberry yogurt.

• Vanilla yogurt: 2 2/4 cups = 10/4 cups
• Strawberry yogurt: 2 1/2 cups = 5/2 cups

Total yogurt: 10/4 cups + 5/2 cups

= (10+ 5 ×2)/4 cups

= (10+10)/4 cups

= 20/4 cups

= 5 cups

Therefore, Mark used 5 cups of yogurt in the smoothie.
