Im having a hard time trying to solve this problem. Can someone please help me?
Marcial found a recipe for fruit salad that he wanted to try to make for his birthday party. He decided to triple the recipe.
3 1/2 cups thinly sliced rhubarb
15 seedless grapes, halved
1/2 orange, sectioned
10 fresh strawberries, halved
3/5 apple, cored and diced
2/3 peach, sliced
1 plum, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup fresh blueberries
A. What is the new amount for the
oranges, apples, blueberries, and
peaches?
B. The amount of rhubarb in the original
recipe is 3 1/2cups. Using what you know
of whole numbers and what you know
of fractions, explain how you could
triple that mixed number
A. Oranges = 3/2
apples = 9/5
blueberries = 3/4
peaches = 2
Yes that is correct
For B should the mixed number be 7/2?
Thank you Mia!
Since he tripled the recipe all you have to do is is multiply by 3
A.
Oranges (1/2)*3=?
Apples (3/5)*3=?
Blueberries (1/4)*3=?
Peaches (2/3)*3=?
B. You have to change the mixed number back to a regular fraction. Do you know how to do this?
yes
It is 10&1/2
Thanks for the answers lmao >:) yes i am like a year late but who cares when you're using this for
math homework XD
