Solution Steps

To find out how many bags of grapes Ari will have, we need to first determine the total amount of grapes by adding the cups of red and green grapes. Then, we divide the total amount of grapes by the amount of grapes per bag to find the number of bags.

Step 1: Calculate the Total Amount of Grapes

We start by calculating the total amount of grapes mixed by Ari. The amount of red grapes is given as 2142 \frac{1}{4} cups, which can be expressed as: 214=2+14=94 2 \frac{1}{4} = 2 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{4} The amount of green grapes is 12\frac{1}{2} cups. Therefore, the total amount of grapes is: Total Grapes=94+12=94+24=114 \text{Total Grapes} = \frac{9}{4} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{9}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{11}{4}

Step 2: Determine the Amount of Grapes per Bag

Ari divides the total grapes into bags, with each bag containing 34\frac{3}{4} cup of mixed grapes.

Step 3: Calculate the Number of Bags

To find the number of bags, we divide the total amount of grapes by the amount of grapes per bag: Number of Bags=Total GrapesGrapes per Bag=11434=114×43=1133.6667 \text{Number of Bags} = \frac{\text{Total Grapes}}{\text{Grapes per Bag}} = \frac{\frac{11}{4}}{\frac{3}{4}} = \frac{11}{4} \times \frac{4}{3} = \frac{11}{3} \approx 3.6667

Final Answer

The number of bags of grapes Ari will have is approximately 3233 \frac{2}{3}. Thus, the answer is: 323 \boxed{3 \frac{2}{3}}
