Answer 1

Below

Explanation:

"Lynn is making a snack. The recipes call for 3/8 cup of water for oats and 1/4 cup"

(I changed the numbers to fractions ....)

she needs 3/8 + 1/4 cup ....add them together by finding a common denominator

1/4 = 2/8

then 3/8 + 2/8 = (3+2)/8 = 5/8 cup

if she has one cup of water she has enough....she only needs 5/8 cup
