Transcript text: Ari mixed $2 \frac{1}{4}$ cups of red grapes with $\frac{1}{2}$ cups of green grapes. He then divided the grapes into bags with $\frac{3}{4}$ cup of mixed grapes in each. How many bags of grapes will Ari have?
Solution
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 241 cups, which can be expressed as:
241=2+41=49
The amount of green grapes is 21 cups. Therefore, the total amount of grapes is:
Total Grapes=49+21=49+42=411
Step 2: Determine the Amount of Grapes per Bag
Ari divides the total grapes into bags, with each bag containing 43 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=Grapes per BagTotal Grapes=43411=411×34=311≈3.6667
Final Answer
The number of bags of grapes Ari will have is approximately 332. Thus, the answer is:
332
