Solution
Jeffrey uses 11/12 of his 4 cartons of blueberries for the first batch of pies. To find out how many cartons he uses, you multiply the total number of cartons by the fraction he uses:
4 * 11/12 = 44/12 = 11/3 = 3 2/3 cartons
So, Jeffrey uses 3 2/3 cartons of blueberries for the first batch of pies.
