Answer:
The total cups of strawberries Margo pick are 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Margo freezes 8 cups of strawberries. This is 2/3 of the strawberries she picked.
Now, to find total cups of strawberries Margo pick.
Let the total cups of strawberries be [tex]x[/tex].
According to question:
[tex]\frac{2}{3} of x = 8[/tex]
[tex]\frac{2x}{3} =8[/tex]
Multiplying both sides by 3 we get:
[tex]2x=24[/tex]
Now, dividing both sides by 2 we get:
[tex]x=12[/tex]
Therefore, the total cups of strawberries Margo pick are 12.
