Answer:

The mixed number for the amount of cupcakes mark ate is 1 1/6

Explanation:

On his birthday mark ate 2/3 of a chocolate cupcake 1/4 of a red velvet cupcake and 1/2 of a vanilla cupcake. How many total cupcakes did mark eat on his birthday?

What is the mixed number for the amount of cupcakes mark ate?

This is solved as:

2/3 of a chocolate cupcake + 1/4 of a red velvet cupcake + 1/2 of a vanilla cupcake.

2/3 + 1/4 + 1/2

The Lowest Common Denominator is 12

8 + 2 + 4/12

= 14/12

= 7/6

= 1 1/6
