Question

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

Answer 1

`(7)/(8) + (4)/(8) = (11)/(8)`. You then divide that by 2:
`(11)/(8) / 2 = (11)/(8) * (1)/(2) = (11)/(16)` . So 11/16 of the mixture is put in each bowl.

Answer 2

Answer: Amount of mixture in each bowl is
`(11)/(16)`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Part of cup sour cream =
`(7)/(8)`

Part of cup cream cheese =
`(1)/(2)`

Combined mixture would be

`(7)/(8)+(1)/(2)\\\\=(7+4)/(8)\\\\=(11)/(8)`

We need to divided the mixture between 2 bowls.

So, Amount of mixture that Courtlynn put in each bowl is given by

`((11)/(8))/(2)\\\\=(11)/(16)`

Hence, Amount of mixture in each bowl is
`(11)/(16)`
