Question

Timothy has the following ingredients to mix together to make packages of fruit snacks: 1 1/2 pounds of apricots, 3 1/2 pounds of grapes, and 2 pounds of raspberries. How many 1/4-pound packages can he make?

a. 5B. 7C. 12 1/2D.18

Answer 1

The answer is 28.

The choice for #D is wrong. It is not supposed to be 18. It is supposed to be 28.

Answer 2

The answer I keep getting is 28 because when you add all the pounds it ends up as 7 and and you need to divide that by 1/4 which will be 7x4 be a vs he of the reciprocal so it is 28
