Question

Penelope is making fruit salad. She purchased 5 & 1/3 ounces of the 6 different fruit. How many ounces of fruit did she purchased? ( write the answer as a decimal)

Answer 1

32 ounces

Explanation:

To know the total number of fruits, we must multiply the quantity purchased of each fruit by the number of fruits purchased, like this:

`\begin{gathered} 5(1)/(3)=(16)/(3) \\ \text{ therefore:} \\ (16)/(3)\cdot6=32 \end{gathered}`

In total there are 32 ounces of fruits
