Final answer:

To find the total number of cups mixed together, add 2.5 cups of flour, 1.25 cups of sugar, and 0.5 cups (2/4 cup simplified) of brown sugar, resulting in a total of 4.25 cups of the mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student asked how many cups of ingredients were mixed together if Big Money mixed 2.5 cups of flour, 1.25 cups of sugar, and 2/4 cup of brown sugar. To solve this, we simply need to add the quantities of each ingredient together. The mixture includes:

  • 2.5 cups of flour
  • 1.25 cups of sugar
  • 0.5 cups (since 2/4 simplifies to 1/2) of brown sugar

Add these amounts together:

2.5 cups (flour) + 1.25 cups (sugar) + 0.5 cups (brown sugar) = 4.25 cups

Therefore, Big Money had a total of 4.25 cups of the mixture altogether.
