Answer 1

1 bowl = 1/4 cup of nuts (1/4 = 0.25)

x bowl = 33/3 cup of nuts (33/3 = 11)

 

set a proportion up to find x:

 

1 bowl                                      x cups

____________           =       ____________

0.25 cups fruit                        11 cups of fruit

 

cross multiply:

 

11 = 0.25X

 

x = 11/0.25

 

X = 44 bowls
