Question

Ted combines 7.28 ounces of strawberries with 8.06 ounces of blueberries to make fruit bowls. He pours the fruit equally into 4 bowls, and has 1.58 ounces of fruit left over. How many ounces of fruit are in each bowl?

Answer 1

7.28 ounces + 8.06 ounces = 15.34 ounces combined

15.34 ounces - 1.58 ounces left over = 13.76 ounces

divide 13.76 ounces by 4 people = 3.44 ounces per bowl
