Question

Sally is making 15 individual blueberry cheesecakess. How many pounds of blueberries will be in each cheesecake if 514 pounds of blueberries are divided equally among them?

Answer 1

Given:

Sally is making 15 individual blueberry cheesecakes.

To find:

How many pounds of blueberries will be in each cheesecake if 514 pounds of blueberries are divided equally among them?

Solution:

No. of blueberry cheesecakes Sally was making = 15

The pounds of blueberries that were equally divided are = $5\frac{1}{4} = \frac{21}{4}$

So, using the unitary method, we can say

If 15 blueberry cheesecakes require  $\frac{21}{4}$ pounds of blueberries

Then,

1 blueberry cheesecake will require = $\frac{\frac{21}{4}}{15} = \frac{21}{60} = \frac{7}{20}$ pounds of blueberries

Thus, $\underline{\bold{ \frac{7}{20}}}$ pounds of blueberries will be there in each cheesecake.
