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 stawberry and kiwi fruit cups, but she makes 4 cups. in each cup, she uses 8 strawberries. how many kiwis are in each furit cup joanna makes?

she uses the same amount of fruit so Susan used 5 strawberries per cup ( 5*5 = 25 total strawberries) and 3 kiwi ( 3*5 = 15 total kiwis)

 25+15 = 40 total pieces of fruit.

Joanna made 4 cups with 8 strawberries each

8*4 =32

40-32 = 8 , so she can use 8 kiwis

8 kiwis / 4 cups = 2 kiwis per cup

2 kiwis per cup  

Step-by-step explanation:

Both have the same number of fruits= 40 pieces of fruit fruits (Because Susan has  25 strawberries and 15 kiwis)

5  cups and 4 cups should have a common multiple of 40

40/5= 8   (5 strawberries + 3 kiwi) 8 piece of fruit  per cup

40/4 = 10 (8 strawberries +2 kiwi)  10 piece of fruit per cup

       We only knew that in each cup Joanna uses 8 strawberries per cup

(10-8=2)      Now we know she uses 2 kiwis per cup

Total 32 strawberries (4x8) and 8 kiwis  (4x2)= 40 pieces of fruit

any options?
