Answer 2

Answer: =
`(17)/(24)`

Explanation:

Given : The amount of oil is used in a recipe. =
`(1)/(3)`

The amount of water used in a recipe =
`(3)/(8)`

The total number of cups of liquid used by Shelly:-

`(1)/(3)+(3)/(8)=(8+3*3)/(24)\\\\\=(8+9)/(24)=(17)/(24)`

Hence, the total number of cups of liquid used in all =
`(17)/(24)`
