Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we have a total of 6 cups of berries and per serving of salad we use $\frac {2} {3}$of cups.

Let "x" be the variable that represents the portions of fruit salad that can be made, then, to find it we divide the number of cups of berries among the amount that is used for a portion:

$x = \frac {6} {\frac {2} {3}} = \frac {6 * 3} {2 * 1} = \frac {18} {2} = 9$

Thus, 9 portions of salad can be prepared.

Answer:

9 portions
