Answer:

13/7

Explanation:

From the question, we have

3/7 of cherry pie

2/7 of apple pie

3/7 of peach pie

5/7 of blueberry pie

Now we have to add up all of these in order to get the total amount of pie

3/7 + 2/7 +3/7 +5/7

= (3+2+3+5)/7

=13/7

If expressed as a mixed fraction

= 1 6/7

In conclusion, 13/7 pie remains as a fraction of a whole.
