To make a fruit salad , Marvin mixed 1 3/4 cups of diced peaches with 2 1/4 cups of diced pears . How many cups of peaches and pears are in the fruit salad ?

Answer 1

Answer: 4 cups of fruit.

Step-by-step explanation: In the fruit salad there is 1 3/4 cups of diced peaches and 2 1/4 cups of diced pears. The equation for this question is 1 3/4 + 2 1/4. The first step is to add the whole numbers together, and then the fractions. 1+2 = 3 and 3/4 + 1/4 = 4/4. Next, we simplify 4/4 = 1. Finally, we add 3 + 1 = 4 cups.
