Answer 2

Answer:

$11\frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

$2\frac{1}{4} \times5$

Each serving takes 2 1/4 cups of fruit...
How much to make 5 servings?

To find the answer we will have to multiply 2 1/4 by 5, since we are trying to find out how much it would take to make 5 smoothies.

$2\frac{1}{4} \times5$
$2\frac{1}{4} =4\times2=8+1=9=\frac{9}{4}$
$\frac{9}{4} \times5$
$5=\frac{5}{1}$

$\frac{9}{4} \times\frac{5}{1}$
$9\times5=45$
$4\times1=4$
$=\frac{45}{4}$

Convert into mixed number:
$\frac{45}{4}$
$=\frac{45}{4}=45\div4=11\frac{1}{4}$
$=11\frac{1}{4}$

Which means in order to make 5 servings of the smoothie, we need "11 1/4 cups" of fruit.

Hope this helps.
