Ricardo picked 3 1/2 pints of strawberries.
To find out how many pints of strawberries he used for the jam, we need to multiply the total amount of strawberries Ricardo picked by the fraction used for jam.
The total amount of strawberries Ricardo picked is 3 1/2 pints, which can be rewritten as 3 + 1/2 = 6/2 + 1/2 = 7/2 pints.
Now we multiply 7/2 by 4/5 to find the amount of strawberries used for the jam:
7/2 * 4/5 = (7 * 4) / (2 * 5) = 28/10 = 2 8/10 pints.
So, Ricardo used 2 8/10 pints of strawberries for the jam.
Ricardo picked 3 1/2 pints of strawberries and used 4/5 of them to make jam. How many pints of strawberries did he use for the jam?
