Question

Emily made a fruit salad with 1 2/3 cups of grapes 2 1/4
cups of strawberries and 1/6
cup of blueberries
which equation will find how many total cups of fruit Emily used?​
A 1 5/6 + 2 3/6 + 1/6 =
B 1 2/6 + 2 1/6 + 1/6 =
C 1 8/12 + 2 3/12 + 2/12 =
D 1 2/12 + 2 1/12 + 1/12 =

Answer 1

Answer:

C 1 8/12 + 2 3/12 + 2/12 =

Step-by-step explanation:

Constituents of the fruit salad prepared by Emily:

• $\[1\frac{2}{3}\]$ cups of grapes

• $\[2\frac{1}{4}\]$ cups of strawberries

• $\[\frac{1}{6}\]$ cups of blueberries

This can be expressed as follows:

$\[1\frac{2}{3}+2\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{6}\]$

This can be equivalently expressed as :

$\[1\frac{8}{12}+2\frac{3}{12}+\frac{2}{12}\]$

Among the given options, this corresponds to option C.
