Quarts of strawberries

Geraldine picked 4 1/2 quarts of strawberries, while Lonnie picked 3/4 as many. Thus, Lonnie picked 4 1/2 quarts of strawberries, while Geraldine picked 4 1/2 quarts of strawberries.

Correct answer:

L =  3 ³⁄₈ = 27/8

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} G=4\frac{1}{2}=4+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}=\frac{8+1}{2}=\frac{9}{2}=4\frac{1}{2}=4.5 \\ L=\frac{3}{4}\cdot G=\frac{3}{4}\cdot \frac{9}{2}=\frac{3\cdot 9}{4\cdot 2}=\frac{27}{8}=3\frac{3}{8}=3.375 \end{gathered}$$
