Lisa and valerie are picnicking in Trough Creek State Park in Pennsylvania. Lisa has brought a salad that she has made with 3/4 cup of strawberries, 7/8 cup of peaches, and 1/6 cup of blueberries. They ate 11/12 cup of salad. About how many cups of fruit salad are left?

Answer :

First add all the amounts of salad.

3/4 + 7/8 + 1/6

To add fractions, get the same denominator.

They all go into 48.(multiply the numerator and denominator.)

3/4 * 12 = 36/48

7/8 = 42/48

1/6 = 8/48

36 + 42 + 8 = 86

86/48
 
Simplify.

43/24
