Question

Kylie and her sister each have 1/4 cup of chopped pineapple.how much pineapple do they have in all

Answer 1

$\text {Kylie =} \dfrac{1}{4} \text { cup}$

$\text {Sister =} \dfrac{1}{4} \text { cup}$

To find how much do they have in all, we add them:

$\dfrac{1}{4} + \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{2}{4}$

Then we try to reduce the fraction to the simplest possible:

$\dfrac{2}{4} = \dfrac{2\div 2}{4 \div 2} = \dfrac{1}{2}$


$\text {Answer= } \dfrac{1}{2}$
