Answer:
To double the recipe, we need to multiply each ingredient's quantity by 2. Let's do the math:
Original recipe:
2 ½ cups of strawberries
1/3 cup of bananas
1 cup of kiwi
3 cups of apples
Doubled recipe:
2 ½ cups of strawberries * 2 = 5 cups of strawberries
1/3 cup of bananas * 2 = 2/3 cup of bananas
1 cup of kiwi * 2 = 2 cups of kiwi
3 cups of apples * 2 = 6 cups of apples
Now, let's add up all the doubled quantities to find the total number of cups of fruit:
Total cups of fruit = 5 cups of strawberries + 2/3 cup of bananas + 2 cups of kiwi + 6 cups of apples
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is 3 in this case:
2/3 cup of bananas = (2/3) * (3/3) = 6/9 cups
Now we can add the quantities:
Total cups of fruit = 5 cups + 6/9 cups + 2 cups + 6 cups
Total cups of fruit = 13 cups + 6/9 cups
We can simplify 6/9 to 2/3 because both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 3:
Total cups of fruit = 13 cups + 2/3 cups
Thus, Sally has a total of 13 2/3 cups of fruit in her doubled fruit salad.
