Question

Penelope is making fruit salad. She purchased 5 & 1/3 ounces of each of the 6 fruits. How many ounces of fruit did she purchase? ( write this answer as a decimal)

Answer 1

`32.0oz`

Step-by-step explanation

Penelope purchased 5¹/₃ ounces of each of the 6 fruits.

To find the total number of ounces of fruit that she purchased, multiply 5¹/₃ ounces by 6.

That is:

`\begin{gathered} 5(1)/(3)\cdot6 \\ \Rightarrow(16)/(3)\cdot6 \\ 32.0oz \end{gathered}`

That is the number of ounces of fruit that she bought.
