Question

Susan makes 5 fruit cups for the picnic. In each cup, she has 5 strawberries and 3 kiwi. Joanna uses the same number of total fruits to make her stawberry and kiwi fruit cups, but she makes 4 cups. In each cup, she uses 8 strawberries.
How many kiwis are in each furit cup Joanna makes?

Answer 1

she uses the same amount of fruit so Susan used 5 strawberries per cup ( 5*5 = 25 total strawberries) and 3 kiwi ( 3*5 = 15 total kiwis)

 25+15 = 40 total pieces of fruit.

Joanna made 4 cups with 8 strawberries each

8*4 =32

40-32 = 8 , so she can use 8 kiwis

8 kiwis / 4 cups = 2 kiwis per cup
