Ari mixed 2 1/4 cups of red grapes with 1/2 cups of green grapes. He then divided the grapes into bags with 3/4 cup of mixed grapes in each. How many bags of grapes will Ari have? FAST

To start, our equation will look like this:

(2 1/4 + 1/2) / 3/4 = b

To make it easier convert the 2 numbers inside the parentheses into improper fractions, and then multiply them by their least common denominator to add.

(9/4 + 1/2)

(18/8 + 4/8)

(22/8) / 3/4 = b

Now, to divide 22/8 cups of grapes into bags with 3/4 cup of grapes, multiply 22/8 by 4/3.

(22/8) (4/3) = b

3 2/3 = b

So, if Ari has a bag with 2 1/4 cups of red grapes and 1/2 cup of green grapes, and he divides it into bags with 3/4 cup each, he will have about 3 full bags.
