Question

Maria makes a fruit salad.

The table shows the amounts of different kinds of fruit that she uses.
Kind of Fruit Amount
Grapes 323 cups
Melon 214 cups
Pineapple 234 cups
Strawberries ?
The amount of strawberries that Maria uses is 38 times the amount of the other fruits combined.
How many cups of strawberries does Maria use?

Answer 1

If my calculations are correct it would be 6,168 cups of strawberries

Explanation:

If it’s 8 times the amount of them combined then you add all of the other fruit together and then multiply by 8 giving you:

323+214+234=771

771*8=6,168 cups of strawberries.

Only in math would someone need that much fruit
