Question

You have 3/4 cups of flour for your cake you need to add 5/6 more cups then you need to divide 2/3 cups for a different recipe solve in the simplest form

Answer 1

19/72 or 0.26388....

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

((3/4 + 5/6)/2)/3

((3/4 + 5/6)/2)/3 = (3/4 + 5/6)/(2×3):

(3/4 + 5/6)/(2×3)

Put 3/4 + 5/6 over the common denominator 12. 3/4 + 5/6 = (3×3)/12 + (2×5)/12:

((3×3)/12 + (2×5)/12)/(2×3)

3×3 = 9:

(9/12 + (2×5)/12)/(2×3)

2×5 = 10:

(9/12 + 10/12)/(2×3)

9/12 + 10/12 = (9 + 10)/12:

((9 + 10)/12)/(2×3)

9 + 10 = 19:

(19/12)/(2×3)

(19/12)/(2×3) = 19/(2×3×12):

19/(2×3×12)

2×3 = 6:

19/(6×12)

6×12 = 72:
