Given:

Charles used


=1(2)/(3)

Cup of walnuts.


=2(1)/(6)

Cup of cranberries.

Sol:


\begin{gathered} =1(2)/(3)+2(1)/(6) \\ =(3+2)/(3)+(12+1)/(6) \\ =(5)/(3)+(13)/(6) \\ =(10+13)/(6) \\ =(23)/(6) \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} =(23)/(6) \\ =3(5)/(6) \end{gathered}

So the answer is 3 5/6 cups.
