Answer 1

two true statements:

A. Together, Karen and Jude picked the same weight of fruit as Casey picked.

C. There are enough strawberries to make two pies.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Casey picked 6 pounds of strawberries, which is equivalent to 96 ounces. Karen picked 48 ounces of blueberries and Jude picked 2 pounds of raspberries, which is equivalent to 32 ounces. Therefore, Karen and Jude picked a total of 80 ounces, which is the same weight of fruit as Casey picked (96 ounces). So, statement A is true.

B. This statement is false because 6 pounds of strawberries (which Casey picked) is equivalent to 96 ounces, while Karen picked 48 ounces of blueberries, which is half of 96 ounces. Therefore, Casey did not pick 2 times the weight of fruit that Karen picked.

C. The amount of strawberries needed for one pie is 12 ounces and Casey picked 6 pounds of strawberries, equivalent to 96 ounces. Therefore, there are enough strawberries to make 8 pies (96/12 = 8). Since each pie requires 8 ounces of blueberries and 8 ounces of raspberries, and Karen and Jude picked 48 ounces of blueberries and 32 ounces of raspberries, there are only enough berries to make 6 pies. Therefore, there are enough strawberries to make two pies, which makes statement C true.
