Question

Maggie combines 8.27 ounces of strawberries with 6.65 ounces of blueberries to make fruit bowls. She pours the fruit equally into 2 bowls, and has 1.56 ounces of fruit left over. How many ounces of fruit are in each bowl

Answer 1

Answer:

6.68 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Maggie combines 8.27 ounces of strawberries and 6.65 ounces of blueberries to make a fruit bowl

= 8.27 + 6.65

= 14.91 ounces

She will have 1.56 ounces left over

= 14.91-1.56

= 13.36 ounces

Therefore the number of ounces in each fruit bowl can be calculated as follows

= 13.36/2

= 6.68 ounces
