Answer 1

Emilio needs less than 1 stick of butter

Explanation:

Emilio needs 1/2 stick of butter to make cornbread . He also needs 1/4 stick of butter to make apple muffins . Does Emilio need more than I stick of butter to make both recepes or less than 1 stick of butter ? How do you know?

Cornbread = 1/2 stick of butter

Apple muffins = 1/4 stick of butter

Total sticks of butter = cornbread + apple muffins

= 1/2 + 1/4

= (2+1) / 4

= 3/4 stick of butter

= 0.75 stick of butter

0.75 stick of butter is less than 1 stick of butter

Therefore,

Emilio needs less than 1 stick of butter
