Lee combines 7.63 ounces of strawberries with 5.26 ounces of blueberries to make a fruit bowls. He pours the fruit equally into 2 bowls, and has 1.37 ounces of fruit left over. How many ounces of fruit are in each bowl?

Respuesta :

Answer:

7.63 ounces of strawberries + 5.26 ounces of blueberries

7.63 + 5.26= 12.89 - 1.37 left over = 11.52 to be split between 2 bowls equally

11.52/2 = 5.76 per bowl

5.76 ounces in each bowl.

7.63+5.26=12.89 (total amount of fruit)
12.89-1.37=11.52 (amount of fruit minus leftover fruit)
11.52/2=5.76 (amount of fruit in each bowl)

Therefore the answer is 5.76 ounces of fruit in each bowl.
