Answer:
There is a total of [tex]8\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cups of fruit.
Step-by-step explanation:
First I am going to convert all of the fractions so they have the same denominators.
They all have a denominator of 4 except the Bananas.
To change [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] to a fraction with the denominator 4 we have simply multiply it by 2.
[tex]\frac{1}2} * \frac{2}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{4}[/tex]
Now I will add up the total of whole numbers.
So, 3+1+1+2. This equals 7.
Putting that aside, now I will add up the fractions.
[tex]\frac{2}{4} +\frac{1}{4} +\frac{3}{4} +\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
For this you will ONLY add the numerators.
2+1+3+1 equals 7.
[tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex]= [tex]1\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
add 7 to that.
[tex]8\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
There is a total of [tex]8\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cups of fruit.
Hope this helped! :)
