(2)
last Wednesday it snowed 3 1/4 in. on Sunday it snowed 3 4/5 in. On which day did it snow more? how much more?

Answer 1

Eliza and Jamie do not have enough flour for both of their recipes because the total amount of flour they need is greater than the amount they have available.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if Eliza and Jamie have enough flour for both of their recipes, we need to add up the amounts of flour each of them needs. Eliza needs 2 1/3 cups of flour, which is equivalent to 7/3 cups of flour. Jamie needs 1 3/4 cups of flour, which is equivalent to 7/4 cups of flour. Adding these amounts together, we get a total of 49/12 cups of flour needed. Since there are 4 cups of flour available, we can see that Eliza and Jamie do not have enough flour for both of their recipes.

Answer 2

1.) Yes they have enough flour for both of their recipes because if you find the common denominator for both of the flour cups of flour for the recipe which of course the denominator is going to be 12. so the equation would look like this 1 9/12+2 4/12. You add the mixed numbers which it makes 3 and you add the fractions which make it 13/12 you add the 1 to the 3 which makes it have enought flour. So they have 1/12 of it left over.
2.) It snowed more yesterday. It snowed 11/20 more inches. hope that helped
