Answer 1

There are 10 1/12 cups of fruit in the bowl.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total number of cups of fruit in the bowl, we need to add up the amounts of each type of fruit. First, we add 4 1/3 cups of strawberries to 2 1/2 cups of blueberries:

4 1/3 + 2 1/2 = 4 2/6 + 2 3/6 = 6 5/6

Next, we add 6 5/6 cups of strawberries and blueberries to 3 1/4 cups of grapes:

6 5/6 + 3 1/4 = 6 10/12 + 3 3/12 = 9 13/12 = 10 1/12

Therefore, there are 10 1/12 cups of fruit in the bowl.
