Question

Kim is making fruit salad. The recipe requires: 1 cup blueberries 1 1 2 cups strawberries 2 cups grapes 2 1 4 cups peaches. How many 3 4 -cup servings of fruit salad can be made

Answer 1

To determine how many 3/4-cup servings of fruit salad can be made, we'll need to add up the total amount of fruit in the recipe and divide it by 3/4.

calculate:

1 cup blueberries +
1 1/2 cups strawberries +
2 cups grapes +
2 1/4 cups peaches =

To make it easier, convert all the measurements to a common denominator:

4/4 cup blueberries +
6/4 cups strawberries +
8/4 cups grapes +
9/4 cups peaches =

Now, add them up:

(4 + 6 + 8 + 9)/4 = 27/4 = 6 3/4 cups of fruit salad

So, a total of 6 3/4 cups of fruit salad. To find out how many 3/4-cup servings we can make, divide the total amount by 3/4:

(6 3/4) / (3/4) = 27/3 = 9

Therefore, you can make 9 servings of fruit salad.
