- 1 3/4 cups of grapes
- 1/2 cup of raisins
- 2 1/2 cups of bananas
- 3/4 cup of coconut
- 1 1/2 cups of cherries
- 2 1/4 cups of pineapples

Question: One batch of fruit salad has equal amounts of which kinds of fruit? Explain.

Answer :


The batch of fruit salad has an equal amount of apples and cherries. This is because there are 1 1/2 c of apples and 1 2/4 c of cherries. the 1 1/2 is already simplified but the 1 2/4 is not. 1 2/4 is the same as 1 1/2, therefore apples and cherries have equal amounts.
