Question

Bill has 5 cups of strawberries he uses 2 and 1/6 to make smoothies he uses the rest of the strawberries to make fruit cups he needs 2/3 cups of strawberries for each fruit cup how many fruit cups can he make

Answer 1

Answer: Total fruit cups made = $4\dfrac14$

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cups of strawberries = 5

Cups used for smoothies = $2\dfrac16=\dfrac{13}{6}$

Since rest of the strawberries are used to make fruit cups = $5-\dfrac{13}{6}=\dfrac{30-13}{6}=\dfrac{17}{6}$

Cups of strawberries for each fruit cup = $\dfrac23$

Total fruit cups made = (rest of the strawberries ) ÷(Cups of strawberries for each fruit cup)

$=\dfrac{17}{6}\div \dfrac23\\\\=\dfrac{17}{6}\times\dfrac32\\\\=\dfrac{17}{4}\\\\=4\dfrac14$

∴ Total fruit cups made = $4\dfrac14$
