Annalisa uses 2/3 cup of all purpose flour and 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour to make pancakes. How many cups of flour does she use altogether
first so in total you have 5 cups and out of the 5 cups there are 3 cups of flour she used
For this case we have the following amounts:
What we must do is add both amounts.
We have then:
\(\frac {2} {3} + \frac {1} {2}\)
Rewriting both fractions with the same denominator we have:
\(\frac {4} {6} + \frac {3} {6}\)
Adding we have:
\(\frac {4} {6} + \frac {3} {6} = \frac {4 + 3} {6} = \frac {7} {6}\)
Answer:
Annalisa uses\(\frac {7} {6}\) cups of flour
