Question

Sarah and her friends picked 3 3/4 pints of blueberries. After they ate some of the blueberries, only 2 1/3 pints remained.

Answer 1

Answer : The pints of blueberries Sarah and her friends eat, $1\frac{5}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that:

Sarah and her friends picked pints of blueberries = $3\frac{3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}$

Let us assume that they ate number of the blueberries  be, 'x'

Remaining blueberries sarah and her friends eat = $\frac{15}{4}-x$

We are given that Remaining blueberries sarah and her friends eat = $2\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}$

So,

$\frac{15}{4}-x=\frac{7}{3}$

$\frac{15}{4}-\frac{7}{3}=x$

$\frac{17}{12}=x$

$1\frac{5}{12}=x$

Thus, the pints of blueberries Sarah and her friends eat, $1\frac{5}{12}$

Answer 2

1) she and her friends ate 1 5/12, or 17/12 pints.

ANSWER= 1 5/12 pints
