Question

Audrey uses 5/8 cup of fruit in each smoothie she makes. She makes 6 smoothies to share with her friends. How many cups of fruit does she use. A.3 3/8 B. 3 1/2 C. 3 3/4 D. 6 5/8

Answer 1

C, 3 3/4 b/c 5/8•6 = 3 3/4

Answer 2

Multiply the number of smoothies (6) by the amount of fruit per smoothie (5/8).

x= total amount of fruit for 6 smoothies


x= 5/8(6)

multiply the numerator by 6; divide by 8
x= (5*6)/8
x= 30/8

change to mixed fraction
x= 3 6/8

simplify by dividing 2 into numerator and denominator
x= 3 3/4

Answer: C) 3 3/4

Hope this helps! :)
