Layla is making fruit salad. She uses 1 1/2 cups of oranges, 2/3 cups of apples, and 3/4 cups of grapes. How many cups of fruit does she use?(1 point) Responses: 2 11/12, 2 1/9, 3 7/12, 3 1/9,
To find the total amount of fruit Layla uses, you need to add up the amounts of each type of fruit.
1 1/2 cups of oranges is equal to 3/2 cups.
2/3 cups of apples is already in its simplest form.
3/4 cups of grapes is already in its simplest form.
Now add the three amounts together:
3/2 + 2/3 + 3/4 = 18/12 + 8/12 + 9/12 = 35/12
The final answer is 35/12 cups of fruit.
In mixed number form, this is equal to 2 11/12 cups of fruit.
Therefore, the correct response is 2 11/12.
