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 319 3 and 1 ninth 3712 3 and 7 over 12 219 2 and 1 ninth 21112
To find the total number of cups of fruit Layla uses, we need to add together the amounts of each fruit:
1 1/2 cups + 2/3 cups + 3/4 cups
Converting the mixed number 1 1/2 to an improper fraction:
1 1/2 = (2 * 1 + 1) / 2 = 3/2
Now we can add the fractions:
3/2 + 2/3 + 3/4 = (9/6) + (4/6) + (4/6) = 17/6
Converting the improper fraction back to a mixed number:
17/6 = 2 5/6
So, Layla uses 2 5/6 cups of fruit.
The correct answer is 2 and 5/6 or 2 and 5 over 6.
