Question

Elizabeth made an English muffin pizza using 1/4 cup of cheese and 3/8 cup of sausage. How many cups of toppings did she use?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is
`(5)/(8)~\textup{cups}.`

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Elizabeth made an English muffin pizza by adding the following quantities of cheese and sausage..

Cups of cheese used by Elizabeth is given by

`C_c=(1)/(4)~\textup{cups}.`

And cups of sausage used by Elizabeth is given by

`C_s=(3)/(8)~\textup{cups}.`

Therefore, total number of cups of toppings used by Elizabeth is

`C=C_c+C_s=(1)/(4)+(3)/(8)=(5)/(8)~\textup{cups}.`

Thus, the number cups of toppings used is
`(5)/(8)~\textup{cups}.`
