Answer :
Maggi starts with [tex]$\frac{3}{4}$[/tex] pound of blueberries. She uses [tex]$\frac{3}{5}$[/tex] of these blueberries for her smoothie. To find the amount used, we multiply the total amount by the fraction used:
[tex]$$
\text{Blueberries used} = \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{3}{5}
$$[/tex]
Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
[tex]$$
\frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 5} = \frac{9}{20}
$$[/tex]
Thus, Maggi used [tex]$\frac{9}{20}$[/tex] pound of blueberries to make the smoothie.
