To determine how many sundaes can the shop make using all fruits you have to add them together first:

5 3/4 pounds of blueberries

4 1/2 pounds of cherries

Add them to determine the mix


5(3)/(4)+4(1)/(2)

Then, we know that the show uses 1/6 pound of the mix for each sundae, so yo see how many sundaes you can make, you have to divide the mix by 1/6


(5(3)/(4)+4(1)/(2))/(1)/(6)

The correct option is the last one.
