To find the amount of cups of fruit used you must multiply the number of smoothies (6) by the amount of fruit need for each smoothie (5/8)
6 x 5/8 = 30/8
30/8 can be simplified to 15/4.
This is still an improper fraction, because the numerator is higher than the denominator. To fix this, you divide 15 by 4, which equals 3 3/4 cups

(WILL MARK BRAINLIEST FOR THE FIRST TO ANSWER) The square of a number is equal to two less than three times the number. What are

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us take this number as x, translating this description of the equation into mathematical language;

$x^2 = 3x - 2$

Now let us solve for x;

$x^2 = 3x - 2,\\x^2+2=3x-2+2,\\x^2+2=3x,\\x^2+2-3x=3x-3x,\\x^2-3x+2=0,\\\\Factored = \left(x-1\right)\left(x-2\right)=0,\\Zero Factor Principle, \\x = 1, x = 2\\\\Solution - Option A$
