Question

Priscilla’s grandmother’s fruit salad recipe calls for one part apple, one part orange, four parts strawberry, two parts cherry, and three parts grape. Priscilla uses the same measuring cup to measure all of the fruit, so one part is equal to one cup of diced fruit. In this exercise, you will compare the quantities in the recipe to understand ratios better.

Answer 1

There are 11 parts of fruit: 4-strawberry, 3- grape, 2, cherry, 1- apple, 1-orange

4/11 from the entine quantity of fruits- strawberry
3/11-grapes
2/11- cherries
1/11- apples
1/11- oranges } ⇒ the quantity of oranges and apples are equal

The biggest part of the fruit- 4/11 - are strawberries
4/11>3/11>2/11>1/11
the smallest part of the fruit- apples and oranges
