Question

Mia is making fruit salad cups. She wants to make sure each fruit cup weighs 8 ounces. For her ingredients, she has 24 ounces of apple slices, 32 ounces of dried cranberries, and 40 ounces of grapes. How many fruit salad cups can she make?

Answer 1

Step 1

Find the weight of the sum of the ingredients

Sum=24+32+40=96 ounces

Step 2

Divide the weight of the sum of the ingredients by the weight of one cup

so

(96/8)=12 cups

therefore

the answer is

12 cups
