Question

One bread recipe calls for 2 1/3 cup of flour another bread recipe called for to 1/2 cup of flour Tim hair 5 cups of flour if he makes both recipes how much flour will he have left over

Answer 1

As per the statement:

One bread recipe calls for 2 1/3 cup of flour another bread recipe called for to 1/2 cup of flour .

First we calculate how much flour the two recipes combine call for, by adding the amount of flour needed for both the recipes:

⇒
`2(1)/(3)+(1)/(2)`

⇒
`(7)/(3)+(1)/(2) = (14+3)/(6) = (17)/(6)`

Tim would use
`(17)/(6)` cup of flour for two recipe.

We have to find how much flour will he have left over.

Tim has 5 cup of flour.

Subtract 17/6 from 5

`5-(17)/(6) = (30-17)/(6) = (13)/(6)= 2(1)/(2)`

Therefore, Tim would have
`2(1)/(2)` left over.
