Answer:

The secret ingredient has 5/6 cups

Explanation:

we know that

The secret ingredient consists of 2/3 cup mayo and 1/6 cup honey mustard

To find out how many cups is the secret ingredient, sum the cups of mayo and the cups of honey mustard

Let

x ----> the cups of mayo

y ---> the cups of honey mustard


x+y=(2)/(3)+(1)/(6)

Multiply by 2 both numerator and denominator of 2/3


(2*2)/(3*2)=(4)/(6)

substitute


x+y=(4)/(6)+(1)/(6)=(5)/(6)

Remember that when add fractions with the same denominator, add the numerators and write the sum over the common denominator
