Bill has 5 cups of strawberries he uses 2 and 1/6 to make smoothies he uses the rest of the strawberries to make fruit cups he needs 2/3 cups of strawberries for each fruit cup how many fruit cups can he make

Respuesta :

Answer: Total fruit cups made = [tex]4\dfrac14[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cups of strawberries = 5

Cups used for smoothies = [tex]2\dfrac16=\dfrac{13}{6}[/tex]

Since rest of the strawberries are used to make fruit cups = [tex]5-\dfrac{13}{6}=\dfrac{30-13}{6}=\dfrac{17}{6}[/tex]

Cups of strawberries for each fruit cup = [tex]\dfrac23[/tex]

Total fruit cups made = (rest of the strawberries ) ÷(Cups of strawberries for each fruit cup)

[tex]=\dfrac{17}{6}\div \dfrac23\\\\=\dfrac{17}{6}\times\dfrac32\\\\=\dfrac{17}{4}\\\\=4\dfrac14[/tex]

Total fruit cups made = [tex]4\dfrac14[/tex]
