Answer 1

To find the total amount of salt and vanilla required, add the fractions 3/8 tablespoons and 1/4 tablespoons together. The result is 5/8 tablespoons.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total amount of salt and vanilla required, we need to add the fractions 3/8 tablespoons and 1/4 tablespoons together. To do this, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 8 and 4 is 8, so we can rewrite the fractions as 3/8 and 2/8. Adding these fractions together gives us a total of 5/8 tablespoons. Therefore, we need 5/8 tablespoons of salt and vanilla.

Answer 2

create common denominator

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 can become 2/8 by multiplying the top and bottom number by 2 now you have a common denominator to add 2/8+3/8 = 5/8
