Question

Mitch is making some bread dough. To make the bread dough, Mitch uses 5 1/2 cups of wheat flour, 1 3/4 cups of rice flour, and 2/3 cup of white flour. How many cups of flour, in total, does Mitch use? Show or explain all your work. ​

Answer 1

Answer: 7 11/12 cups of flour

Explanation:

The number of cups of flour in total that Mitch uses will be gotten by adding the values for the cups for each type of flour that's used. This will be:

= 5 ½ + 1¾ + ⅔

= 5 6/12 + 1 9/12 + 8/12

= 6 23/12

= 6 + 1 11/12

= 7 11/12 cups of flour
