There are 9 sisters visiting the farm. Each eat 3/8 of a carton of strawberries. How many cartons did they eat together?

To find out how many cartons of strawberries the 9 sisters ate together, we need to multiply the number of sisters by the amount each one ate.

Each sister ate \( \frac{3}{8} \) of a carton, and there are 9 sisters, so:

\[
9 \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{27}{8} = 3 \frac{3}{8}
\]

Thus, together they ate \( 3 \frac{3}{8} \) cartons of strawberries.

1. If each sister ate \( \frac{1}{4} \) of a carton instead, how many cartons would they eat?
2. How many cartons would they need if 12 sisters visited instead of 9?
3. If a carton has 16 strawberries, how many strawberries did each sister eat?
4. What fraction of a carton would 6 sisters eat together?
5. How many strawberries would remain in 5 cartons after the 9 sisters ate?

**Tip:** When multiplying fractions, remember to multiply the numerator and denominator directly for an accurate result.
