Susan makes 5 fruit cups for the picnic. In each cup, she has 5 strawberries and 3 kiwi. Joanna uses the same number of total fruits to make her strawberry and kiwi fruit cups, but she makes 4 cups. In each cup, she uses 8 strawberries. How many kiwis are in each fruit cup Joanna makes?

Okay, do you know the first step?

Theoceangirl (the_ocean_girl):

She makes 5 cups of fruit using 5 strawberries and 3 kiwis, so first you have to figure out how many of each fruit she used in each cup, do you know how to do this?

OpenStudy (brainzonly):

wait sorry

KjSaif (kjsaif):

8 pieces of fruit in each cup

OpenStudy (brainzonly):

Joanna uses 3 kiwis in each fruit cup 5•5=25. 8•4=32 3•5=15. 40-32=8 15+25= 40 It still ends up the same just a mistype :P

KjSaif (kjsaif):
