Answer:

6/8 cups or 3/4

Explanation:

When adding fractions add the numerators (top number) together if the denominators (bottom number) are the same, if denominators aren't the same you will need to convert the fraction. In this case, the denominators are the same so we can simply add the numerators.

2+4=6

6/8

You could divide both numbers by 2 to get to the simplest form which is 3/4.
