Question

An ice cream shop uses a mix of blueberries and cherries on its ice cream sundaes. The shop has 5.75 pounds of blueberries and 4.5 pounds of cherries. The shop mixes the blueberries and cherries and uses .06 pound of the mix on each sundae. Which expression represents the total number of sundaes that the shop can make using all of the blueberries and cherries ​

Answer 1

To find the answer to this question, we first have to find out how much of the mix of the combined blueberries and cherries is.
To do so, simply add the two amounts together.
5.75+4.5=10.25
Now, just divide 10.25 by .06 to get the amount of sundaes they can make.
10.25/.06=170.8 or 170
They can make 170 sundaes
Hope this helps!
