Question

Im having a hard time trying to solve this problem. Can someone please help me?

Marcial found a recipe for fruit salad that he wanted to try to make for his birthday party. He decided to triple the recipe.

3 1/2 cups thinly sliced rhubarb
15 seedless grapes, halved
1/2 orange, sectioned
10 fresh strawberries, halved
3/5 apple, cored and diced
2/3 peach, sliced
1 plum, pitted and sliced
1/4 cup fresh blueberries

A. What is the new amount for the
oranges, apples, blueberries, and
peaches?

B. The amount of rhubarb in the original
recipe is 3 1/2cups. Using what you know
of whole numbers and what you know
of fractions, explain how you could
triple that mixed number

Answer 1

Since he tripled the recipe all you have to do is is multiply by 3

A.
Oranges (1/2)*3=?
Apples (3/5)*3=?
Blueberries (1/4)*3=?
Peaches (2/3)*3=?

B. You have to change the mixed number back to a regular fraction. Do you know how to do this?

Answer 2

For B should the mixed number be 7/2?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

A. Oranges = 3/2
apples = 9/5
blueberries = 3/4
peaches = 2

Answer 5

Yes that is correct

Answer 6

Thank you Mia!

Answer 7

16/1×5/8=10

Answer 8

Couldnt you triple the 7/2 by multipying 7 three times and get 21/2? Then turn that into a mixed number and get 10 1/2?

Answer 9

I would like to read I have a faction by multiplying 3×2+1 then that is 7/2 then multiply that by three which is 5 1/2.

Answer 10

I would like to read I have a faction by multiplying 3×2+1 then that is 7/2 then multiply that by three which is 10 1/2.
