Question

Merideth measured 3.25 cups of flour and 1.625 cups of brown sugar into

a bowl. How many cups of ingredients did she have altogether in the
bowl?

Answer 1

Explanation:

This is just an addition question. If you have a calculator just add the numbers.

3.25 + 1.625 = 4.875 cups in the bowl.

Sometimes you can use another method. Sometimes it is shorter.

3 1/4 + 1 5/8 = 3 2/8 + 1 5/8 = 4 7/8.

7/8 = 0.875
