Question

Juliette is making a fruit salad.she purchased 9 2/3 ounces each of 6 different fruits . how many ounces of fruit did she purchase

Answer 1

9 2/3 total ounces is a total split up among 6 fruits.

So we need to divide 9 2/3 among the 6 fruits.

= 9 2/3 divide 6

= change 9 2 / 3 in improper fraction
= 9*3 + 2/3

= 29/3 divided by 6/1

= 29/3 x 1/6

= 29/18, change that to mixed fractions.

The answer is 1 11/18 ounces of each fruit.
