Question

Sjon mixed 3 3/8 cups of red grapes with 4 1/2 cups of green grapes. He then divided the grapes into bags with 1/2 cup of mixed grapes in each. How many bags of grapes will Sjon have?
PLS answer in mixed number faction

Answer 1

3 3/8 + 4 1/2 =

get a common denominator

3 3/8 + 4 4/8 = 7 7/8

7 7/8 divided by 1/2

change the mixed number to an improper fraction

(8*7+7)/8 = 63/8

63/8 divided by 1/2

copy dot flip

63/8 * 2/1

63/4 =

15 3/4 bags of grapes

Answer 2

Answer:

$15\frac{3}{4}$ bags

Step-by-step explanation:

We know,

the number of cups of red grapes mixed by Sjon = $3\frac{3}{8}$; and

the number of cups of green grapes mixed by Sjon = $4\frac{1}{2}$

So we will add these fractions and then divide by $\frac{1}{2}$ to get the total number of bags of grapes Sjon will have.

$3\frac{3}{8} + 4\frac{1}{2}$

=$\frac{27}{8} + \frac{9}{2}$

=$\frac{54+74}{16}$

= $\frac{126}{16} = 7\frac{7}{8}$ cups

Divide $7\frac{7}{8}$ by $\frac{1}{2}$:

$7\frac{7}{8} = \frac{126}{16}$ ÷$\frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{126}{16}$×$\frac{2}{1}$ = $\frac{63}{4} = 15\frac{3}{4}$

Therefore, Sjan will have $15\frac{3}{4}$ bags of grapes.
