Answer :
1. Fruit Salad
2 1/2. Cups of pears
1/2 cups of grapes
3 1/4 cups of apples
2/3 cup of oranges
a. Jay. V estimates the recipe makes about 7 cups of fruit salad.
Highlight which explanation describes whether Jay's estimate is reasonable?
A. Not reasonable. Four fractions cannot equal more than 6 cups.
If you add all the ingredients:
[tex]2\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+3\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{4+1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{12+1}{4}+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{5}{2}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{13}{4}+\frac{2}{3}=\frac{30+6+39+8}{12}=\frac{83}{12}=6.92[/tex]The sum is 6.91, so the estimation of Jay is close to 7 cups
Answer:
His estimation is reasonable.
