Question

Courtlynn combines 7/8 cup sour cream with 1/2 cup cream cheese. She then divides the mixture between 2 bowls. How much mixture does Courtlynn put in each bowl?

Please help!

Answer 1

`(11)/(4)` this is because when you add
`(7)/(8)` and
`(1)/(2)` you get
`(11)/(8)` which you'd then divide like this


`( (11)/(1) ) ( (2)/(8)) =( (11)/(1) ) ( (1)/(4)) = (11)/(4)`

If you wanted to simplify that it would be
`2 (3)/(4)`
