Question

The recipe for Ryan birthday cake calls for 3/4 of a cup of flour and 2/4 of a cup of sugar. How many total cups of flour and sugar does the recipe call for?

Answer 1

To find the total cups of flour and sugar, we add the amounts of each together.

Total cups= 3/4 + 2/4
add the numerators (top) only

= 5/4

convert from improper fraction to a mixed fraction

4 goes into 5 one time with a remainder of 1

= 1 1/4 total cups

ANSWER: The total flour and sugar is 1 1/4 cups.

Hope this helps! :)
