ANSWER


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.
