Question

Maria made six batches of cookies. Her friends asked him to make an extra batch. He used 4 3/4 cups of sugars and needs another 5/8 cups for the extra batch. How many cups of sugar will Maria use altogether.

Answer 1

Cups of sugar Maria use altogether =
`(43)/(8)`=
`5(3)/(8)`

Explanation:

For six batch of cookies Maria use =
`4(3)/(4)`=
`(19)/(4)`

For extra batch of cookies sugar used =
`(5)/(8)`

Now we have to calculate total number of cups used by Maria.

For this we will add both the fraction.

`=`
`(5)/(8)`
`+`
`(19)/(4)`

We have taken LCM of the denominator
`(4,8)` and that is
`= (8)`

`=`
`(5+38)/(8)`

`=`
`(43)/(8)`

`=`
`5(3)/(8)`

So our final answer is
`=`
`(43)/(8)` Or
`=`
`5(3)/(8)`
