Answer 1

Okay this isn't the answer but it is how u can get your answer and explain  how to justify it. which math will be how u justify it.... So basically your answer is A.... and you will add 1 1/2 + 3/4 + 1/8 =.25 which is your work they want you to show them and that is what I just showed you in a number line. I hope that's correct, but i'm pretty sure it is. Sorry that took so long i am working still on my own work and still stuck on  my own lol. I am not the best with math and this kind of stuff though, but again i am almost sure this is correct

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A recipe calls for

Flour = $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups

White sugar =  $\frac{3}{4}$ cups

Brown sugar =  $\frac{1}{8}$ cups

Total cups of ingredients =  $1\frac{1}{2}$ +  $\frac{3}{4}$ +  $\frac{1}{8}$  

                                        = $\frac{3}{2}$  + $\frac{3}{4}$ + $\frac{1}{8}$  

                                       = $\frac{12+6+1}{8}$  

                                       = $\frac{19}{8}$  

                                       = $2\frac{3}{8}$  = 2.375 cups

(a) There are 2.375 cups of ingredients

(b) For the recipe mixing bowl of 3 cup can be used because it is just slightly larger than the amount of ingredients in your recipe.
