D. 24 pounds There are 7 children in Uriah's swim class. They have 9 cups of grapes to divide equally among them. Which fraction shows ho many cups of grapes each child receives? \( \begin{array}{ll}\text { A. } \frac{2}{9} \text { cup } & \text { B. } \frac{7}{9} \text { cup } \\ \text { C. } \frac{9}{2} \text { cups } & \text { (D. } \frac{9}{7} \text { cups }\end{array} \)

To determine how many cups of grapes each child receives, we need to divide the total number of cups of grapes by the number of children. 1. **Identify the known values:** - Total cups of grapes = 9 - Number of children = 7 2. **Set up the division:** Each child receives: \[ \text{Cups per child} = \frac{\text{Total cups of grapes}}{\text{Number of children}} = \frac{9}{7} \] 3. **Interpret the result:** The fraction \(\frac{9}{7}\) means that each child receives 1 whole cup and \(\frac{2}{7}\) of another cup. 4. **Select the correct answer:** From the options provided, the correct fraction that shows how many cups of grapes each child receives is: \[ \text{(D) } \frac{9}{7} \text{ cups} \] Thus, the answer is **(D) \(\frac{9}{7}\) cups**.
