Question

Joaquin used two types of flour in a muffi n recipe. How much flour did he use in all? Solve any way you choose.

Answer 1

Total flour used = 3 1/6 c

Explanation:

Whole wheat flour = 1 1/2 c

Buckwheat flour = 1 2/3 c

How much flour did he use in all?

Total flour used = Whole wheat flour + buckwheat flour

= 1 1/2 c + 1 2/3 c

= 3/2 c + 5/3 c

= (9c + 10c) / 6

= 19c/6

= 3 1/6 c

Total flour used = 3 1/6 c
