Question

Matt mixed 2/3 cup of strawberries, 1 1/2 cups of pineapples, and 2 1/3 cups of grapes to makes a fruit salad. How many 1-cup servings of salad did Matt make?

Answer 1

4 1/2

Explanation:

Matt mixed 2/3 cups of strawberries.

1 1/2 cups of pineapples

2 1/3 cups of grapes

The first step is the calculate the total mixture

= 2/3 + 1 1/2 + 2 1/3

= 2/3 + 3/2 + 7/3

= 27/6

= 9/2

Therefore the amount of 1-cup serving of salad made by Matt can be calculated as follows.

= 9/2 /1

= 9/2

= 4 1/2

Hence Matt made 4 1/2 of 1-cup servings of salad
