Question

Drew adds 12 cup of wheat flour and 234 cup of white flour to his muffin batter. How many cups of flour does Drew add? 114 c 223 c 314 c 334 c

Answer 1

Amount of wheat flour added to the muffin batter =
`(1)/(2)` cup

Amount of white flour added to the muffin batter =
`2 (3)/(4)` cups

Total amount of flour added =
`(1)/(2) + 2(3)/(4)`

=
`(1)/(2) + (11)/(4)`

LCM of 2 and 4 is 4.

=
`(2+11)/(4)`

=
`(13)/(4)`

=
`3 (1)/(4)`

Therefore,
`3 (1)/(4)` cups of flour are total added.
