Answer:
The total number of containers than can be filled = [tex]5\frac{11}{50}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The amount of blueberries Carl has = 3 1/2 cups
Now, [tex]3\frac{1}{2} = 3 + \frac{1}{2} = 3 + 0.5 = 3.5[/tex]
⇒The amount of blueberries Carl has = 3. 5 cups
Also,the amount of blueberries each container can store = 2/3 cups
Now, [tex]\frac{2}{3} = 0.67[/tex]
⇒The amount of blueberries each container can store = 0.67 cups
So, \textrm{Total cpus that can be filled by blueberries} = \frac{\textrm{Toaal amount of blueberries to be stored}}{\textrm{Bluebeeries stored in 1 cup}}
= [tex]\frac{3.5 cup}{0.67 cup} = 5.22[/tex]
Now,[tex]5.22 = 5 + 0.22 = 5 + \frac{22}{100} = 5 + \frac{11}{50} = 5 \frac{11}{50}[/tex]
Hence, the total number of cups than cen be filled with the blue berries = 5 11/50
⇒ Blueberries can fill 5 full cups and 11/50th of the 6th cup.
