Answer:✨

Lynn can make 4 1/2 (4.5) bags

✨Step-by-step explanation:✨

3 3/4 cups of strawberries ÷ 3/4 into each bag = ?

Convert any mixed numbers to fractions. Then your initial equation becomes:

15/4 + 3/4

Applying the fractions formula for addition,

(15 x 4) + (3 x 4)

4 x 4

= 60 + 12

16

= 72/16

Simplifying 72/16, the answer is:

4 1/2 bags (as a decimal is 4.5)
