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

Verified Answer :

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:

  • \(\frac {2} {3}\) cup of all purpose flour
  • \(\frac {1} {2}\) cup of whole wheat flour

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
