Question

One bread recipe calls for 2 1/3 cup of flour another bread recipe called for to 1/2 cup of flour Tim hair 5 cups of flour if he makes both recipes how much flour will he have left over

Answer 1

Answer:

As per the statement:

One bread recipe calls for 2 1/3 cup of flour another bread recipe called for to 1/2 cup of flour .

First we calculate how much flour the two recipes combine call for, by adding the amount of flour needed for both the recipes:

⇒$2\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2}$

⇒$\frac{7}{3}+\frac{1}{2} = \frac{14+3}{6} = \frac{17}{6}$

Tim would use $\frac{17}{6}$ cup of flour for two recipe.

We have to find how much flour will he have left over.

Tim has 5 cup of flour.

Subtract 17/6 from 5

$5-\frac{17}{6} = \frac{30-17}{6} = \frac{13}{6}= 2\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore, Tim would have $2\frac{1}{2}$ left over.
