The shop mixes the blueberries and cherries and uses 1/16 pound of the mix on each sundae Which expression represents the total number of sundaes that the shop can make using all the blueberries and cherries?A. (5 3÷4)+4 1÷2B. 5 3÷4+(4 1 ÷ 2 ÷ 1 ÷ 16)C. 1÷16 ÷ (5 3÷4 + 4 1÷2D. (5 3÷4 + 4 1÷2) ÷ 1÷16

Answer 1

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.
