Question

Ben is making waffles for his 3 friends. The recipe calls for cup of bleached 2/3 flour and 1/4 cup of wheat flour. What is the total amount of flour Ben needs to make the waffles?

Answer 1

Ben needs a total of 11/12 cup of flour (the sum of 2/3 cup of bleached flour and 1/4 cup of wheat flour) to make waffles for his friends.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total amount of flour needed for Ben's waffle recipe, we need to add the two types of flour together. The recipe calls for 2/3 cup of bleached flour and 1/4 cup of wheat flour. To add these measurements, we need a common denominator, which in this case is 12:

• Convert 2/3 cup to 8/12 cup (because 2/3 multiplied by 4/4 equals 8/12).
• Convert 1/4 cup to 3/12 cup (because 1/4 multiplied by 3/3 equals 3/12).
• Add the two amounts together: 8/12 cup + 3/12 cup equals 11/12 cup.

Therefore, Ben needs a total of 11/12 cup of flour to make the waffles.

Answer 2

2 3/4 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

If Ben makes waffles for three friend then the recipe needs to be multiplied by three. First I would find the common denominator of 2 / 3 and 1/ 4. Then, I would add them together to get the answer of 11/12. After that, multiply the amount of times you are making the recipe (3). Then simplify
