Answer 2

Answer:

4.56 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of Strawberries (S) = 8.15 ounces

Amount of blue berries (B) = 6.26 ounces

Total quantity = B+S = 8.15 + 6.26 = 14.41 ounces

This mixture is poured equally in 3 cups and then them 0.73 ounces of fruit are left over.

Lets assume amount of fruit in each bowl = x ounce

Thus,

$3x + 0.73 = 14.41$

$3x = 14.41 - 0.73$

$x = \frac{13.68}{3}$

$x = 4.56$

Around 4.56 ounces of fruit are in each bowl.
