Question

PLEASE HELP!!! I DON’T KNOW THISSS, DUE RLLY SOON

Jenny has only 3 1/2 cups of flour in her house. She needs 1 5/8 cups for a brownie recipe. Her sister Jody needs 1 3/4 cup flour for her cookie recipe. Will there be enough flour for both recipes?

Answer 1

yes, Jenny has enough flour for both recipes

Explanation:

First, find what Jody and Jenny need for both their recipes. For this, we need a common denominator, 8

1 5/8=13/8

3/4=6/8

13/8+6/8=19/8

Jody has 3 1/2 cups of flour, which is 7/2 cups or 28/8.

Now we need to make sure that 28/8 is greater than 19/8

28>9.... so she has enough flour!
