There are $2$ $2$ cups of fruit in the fruit salad.

Explanation:

We consider the total number of cups of fruit as $x$ $x$ . This represents the total of the given numbers of cups of raisins, oranges and apples. Hence;

$x = \frac{3}{8} + \frac{7}{8} + \frac{3}{4}$ $x=3/8+7/8+3/4$

Using the LCM of $8$ $8$ for the denominator, we get:

$x = \frac{3}{8} + \frac{7}{8} + \frac{6}{8}$ $x=3/8+7/8+6/8$

$x = \frac{3 + 7 + 6}{8}$ $x=(3+7+6)/8$

$x = \frac{16}{8}$ $x=16/8$

$x = 2$ $x=2$
