Question

A recipe calls for ⅓ of a cup of wholewheat flour and 1 ⅓ cups of white flour. How much flour is used in total in the recipe?

Answer 1

5/3 or 1 2/3

Explanation:

You can change 1 1/3 to an improper fraction which would be 4/3 then you would just add 1/3 + 4/3 and get 5/3.

Answer 2

1 ⅔ of flour is used in total

Explanation:

Exclude the whole number "1".

⅓ + ⅓ = ⅔

Since the denominator is =, then add the numerators together. Then add the whole number back.

1 + ⅔ = 1 ⅔
