Question

Zaire is making granola bars. For one batch of bars, the recipe requires 1 2/3 cups of rolled oats and 1/2 cups raisins. What is the combined amount, in cups, of rolled oats and raisins that is used in one batch of granola bars?

Answer 1

2 1/6

Explanation:

The combined amount in cups needed can be determined by adding the cups of rolled oats with the cups of raisins

`1(2)/(3) + (1)/(2)`

`1 (4 +3)/(6)`

=
`1(7)/(6)`

Converting the improper fraction to mixed fraction gives

`1 + 1(1)/(6)`

`2(1)/(6)`
