Question

Heidi has 256 cups of frozen blueberries and 113 cups of fresh blueberries. Does she have enough blueberries to make a recipe that uses 4 cups of blueberries?

Answer 1

Answer:

Heidi has enough blueberries

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Heidi has $2\frac{5}{6}$ cups of frozen blueberries and $1\frac{1}{3}$ cups of fresh blueberries

so

First convert to an improper fractions

$2\frac{5}{6}=\frac{2*6+5}{6}=\frac{17}{6}$

$1\frac{1}{3}=\frac{1*3+1}{3}=\frac{4}{3}=\frac{8}{6}$

Sum the cups of blueberries

$\frac{17}{6}+\frac{8}{6}=\frac{25}{6}=\frac{24}{6}+\frac{1}{6}=4\frac{1}{6}\ cups$

$4\frac{1}{6}> 4$

therefore

Heidi has enough blueberries
