Question

Liam used 2 cups of milk for a

pancake recipe and drank another
93 cups of milk. About how much
milk did he use in all?
4

Answer 1

12

Explanation:

If Liam drank 2
`(2)/(9)` cups and used 9
`(3)/(4)` cups of milk, then you have to find the lowest common multiple of both the fractions, which would be 36. Then you multiply 2 from 2 over 9 by 4, and 3 from 3 over 4 by 9. Then you add the results which will give you 36 over 36 which equals 1. Then you add the whole numbers, 2 + 9 + 1 = 12.

EQUATION: LCM of
`(2)/(9)` and
`(3)/(4)` = 36

2 x 4 + 3 x 9 = 36

`(36)/(1)`=1

2 + 9 + 1 = 12
