Answer:
Alan require [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] pound that is 0.875 pound more to make a fruit salad of 2 pound..
Solution:
Need to find out how much quantity of fruit is required by Alan to create a fruit salad of 2 pound.
Given that quantity of cherries with Alan = [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] pound
And quantity of grapes with Alan = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pound
Quantity of fruit currently with Alan = [tex](\frac{3}{8} + \frac{3}{4})[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{8}[/tex] pound
Given that quantity of fruit required to make a fruit salad = 2 pound.
So quantity which Alan still require = Quantity require to make fruit salad - Quantity of fruit currently with Alan
= 2 – ([tex]\frac{9}{8}[/tex]) = [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] pounds = 0.875 pounds
Hence Alan require 7/8 pound that is 0.875 pound more to make a fruit salad of 2 pound.
