The total number of bowls of fruit salad made by Muriel using the recipe is 7 bowls

For Kelly :

Cups of apple = 6

Cups of oranges = 4

Cups of grapes = 2

Number of bowls = 6

Total cups of recipe = 6 + 4 + 2 = 12 cups

Cups of fruit salad in each bowl can be calculated thus :

Total recipe ÷ number of bowls

12 ÷ 6 = 2 cups of fruit salad in each bowl.

For Muriel :

Additional recipe = 1 cup of cherry and 1 cup of banana

Total cups of recipe = 12 + 1 + 1 = 14 cups

Cups of fruit salad per bowl = 2

The number of bowls of fruit salad made by Muriel can be calculated thus :

Total cups of recipe ÷ cups of fruit salad per bowl

(14 cups ÷ 2 cups) = 7 bowls of fruit salad

Therefore, Muriel made 7 bowls of fruit salad.
