Answer:

it would be 3 cups

Explanation:

because if you think of the 3/4 cup you will notice that it's just like 1/2 because half of 4 is 2 and to get to 4/4 you will need 1 more just like in 1/2 to reach 2/2 you will need 1 more so 3/4=1/2 so then now to the 2cups and 1/3 so for this one it's harder so what i did was search it up cuz this one confused me a little so what i did was ask was "what is 1/2 plus 3/4 in a fraction" and it said "(1 / 2) + (3 / 4) = 5 / 4" so that made it easier so i know that if there a bigger number in front of the other number it going to 1 cup since this question is of cups of it would be one cup but if it was like of a bag for getting candy so lets say you had 1/3 then when you look again you have 3/3 so it is 1 bag full.so with that cups you add it to the other two and you will get 3 cups so the total amount of flour and sugar for one batch of cookies is 3 cups
