Answer 1

2 cups of flour

Explanation:

A bread recipe has,

3/4 cup of rye flour

2/4 cup of wheat flour

3/4 cup of white flour

So, to find the total amount of flour, add all the given fractions together.

`\sf Total\: amount\: of\: flour = rye \:flour + wheat\: flour + white \:flour\\\\\sf Total\: amount\: of\: flour =(3)/(4) +(2)/(4) +(3)/(4) \\\\\sf Total\: amount\: of\: flour =(3+2+3)/(4) \\\\\sf Total\: amount\: of\: flour =(8)/(4) \\\\\sf Total\: amount\: of\: flour =2 \:cups`

Answer 2

2 cups of flour

Explanation:

We want to find the total amount of flour, which means we need to add.

3/4 + 2/4 + 3/4 =

8/4

We can simplify this term.

8/4 =2

2 cups of flour
