almost equal to 5 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

The missing part of the question is :

2 1/2 cups of pears. 2/3 cup of grapes 1 1/4 cups of apples 1/2 of orange slices .

Pears + apples

2 1/2+1 1/4 =

5/2 + 5/4

= 10+5/4

= 15/4

= 3 3/4 cups

Reasonable. The pears and apples is about 3 cups and the grapes

and oranges is exactly 2 cups. This statement is wrong.

Grapes and oranges

2/3 + 1/2

= 4+3/6

=7/6

=1 1/6 cups

grapes and apples

2/3 cup of grapes 1 1/4 cups of apples

2/3 + 5/4

= 8+15/12

= 23/12

= 1 11/12 cups

pears and oranges

2 1/2 cups +1/2 of orange slices

3 cups

Reasonable. The grapes and apples is about 2 cups and pears and

oranges is exactly 3 cups. this statement is true as shown above.

N.B the answer may vary due to the different measurements given in the missing part of the question.

Part B:

1 11/12 cups +3 cups

= 23/12+ 36/12

= 59/12

= 4 11/12 cups
