Question

A recipe calls for 2 1/3 cups of honey. A second recipe calls for 3 3/4 cups of honey.

Which expression should Cindi use to estimate how many cups of honey she needs in order to make sure she has enough for both recipes?

A.
2 1/2 + 4

B. 2 1/2 + 3


C. 2 + 4


D. 2 + 3 1/2

Answer 1

`2 (1)/(3) =2 (1)/(2) \\ \\ 3 (3)/(4)=4 \\ \\ 2 (1)/(2) +4 \\ \\ A`

Answer 2

2 1/3 rounds to 2 1/2, and 3/4 rounds to 4.

Therefore we have:

2 1/2 + 4
