Answer : The pints of blueberries Sarah and her friends eat, [tex]1\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation :
As we are given that:
Sarah and her friends picked pints of blueberries = [tex]3\frac{3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}[/tex]
Let us assume that they ate number of the blueberries be, 'x'
Remaining blueberries sarah and her friends eat = [tex]\frac{15}{4}-x[/tex]
We are given that Remaining blueberries sarah and her friends eat = [tex]2\frac{1}{3}=\frac{7}{3}[/tex]
So,
[tex]\frac{15}{4}-x=\frac{7}{3}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{15}{4}-\frac{7}{3}=x[/tex]
[tex]\frac{17}{12}=x[/tex]
[tex]1\frac{5}{12}=x[/tex]
Thus, the pints of blueberries Sarah and her friends eat, [tex]1\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
