Answer:
Part A: Choice 3) Reasonable. The grapes and apples is about 2 cups and pears and oranges is exactly 3 cups.
Part B: Exactly 4 11/12 cups
almost equal to 5 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing part of the question is :
<u><em>2 1/2 cups of pears. 2/3 cup of grapes 1 1/4 cups of apples 1/2 of orange slices .</em></u>
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.
<em><u>N.B the answer may vary due to the different measurements given in the missing part of the question.</u></em>
Part B:
grapes and apples + pears and oranges
1 11/12 cups +3 cups
= 23/12+ 36/12
= 59/12
= 4 11/12 cups
