If you mix the red onions and feta cheese together, how many cups will there be in all? Greek salad INGREDIENTS: 6 cups lettuce \( \frac{1}{4} \) cup red onions 1 cup olives \( \frac{7}{8} \) cup cucumber 1 cup tomatoes \( \frac{3}{4} \) cup feta cheese \( \frac{2}{3} \) teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. \( \square \) cups

To find the total number of cups in the Greek salad, we need to add up the quantities of all the ingredients. Given: - Lettuce: 6 cups - Red onions: \( \frac{1}{4} \) cup - Olives: 1 cup - Cucumber: \( \frac{7}{8} \) cup - Tomatoes: 1 cup - Feta cheese: \( \frac{3}{4} \) cup - Salt: \( \frac{2}{3} \) teaspoon - Pepper: 1 teaspoon First, let's add up the quantities of the ingredients that are given in cups: \[ 6 + \frac{1}{4} + 1 + \frac{7}{8} + 1 + \frac{3}{4} \] Now, let's calculate the total number of cups in the Greek salad. Calculate the value by following steps: - step0: Calculate: \(6+\frac{1}{4}+1+\frac{7}{8}+1+\frac{3}{4}\) - step1: Add the numbers: \(8+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{3}{4}\) - step2: Reduce fractions to a common denominator: \(\frac{8\times 4\times 2}{4\times 2}+\frac{2}{4\times 2}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{3\times 2}{4\times 2}\) - step3: Multiply the numbers: \(\frac{8\times 4\times 2}{8}+\frac{2}{4\times 2}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{3\times 2}{4\times 2}\) - step4: Multiply the numbers: \(\frac{8\times 4\times 2}{8}+\frac{2}{8}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{3\times 2}{4\times 2}\) - step5: Multiply the numbers: \(\frac{8\times 4\times 2}{8}+\frac{2}{8}+\frac{7}{8}+\frac{3\times 2}{8}\) - step6: Transform the expression: \(\frac{8\times 4\times 2+2+7+3\times 2}{8}\) - step7: Multiply the terms: \(\frac{64+2+7+3\times 2}{8}\) - step8: Multiply the numbers: \(\frac{64+2+7+6}{8}\) - step9: Add the numbers: \(\frac{79}{8}\) The total number of cups in the Greek salad is \( \frac{79}{8} \) cups, which is equivalent to 9.875 cups. Therefore, if you mix the red onions and feta cheese together, there will be 9.875 cups in all.
