Question

Alice makes a batch of cookies for her mom’s

birthday. She adds 2 3/4

cups of fl our and

1 1/2
cups of sugar to a bowl. How many cups of
dry ingredients does Alice add to the bowl?

Answer 1

4 1/4 because you have to convert the amount of sugar into a fraction with the same denominator as the fraction representing the flour. Once you do that you can just add them together.
