Melanie combines 8.65 ounces of strawberries with 8.09 ounces of blueberries to make fruit bowls. She pours the fruit equally into 4 bowls, and has 2.78 ounces of fruit left over. How many ounces of fruit are in each bowl?

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

total ounces combined= 8.65+8.09= 16.74 ounces

We are told that the remainder after pouring the fruits into four bowls is

2.78 ounces, hence what was divided is

= 16.74-2.78=13.96 ounces

Now the amount that was divided is 13.96 ounces

hence a bowl took 13.96/4= 3.49 ounces
