Question

Courtlynn combines 7/8 cup sour cream with 1/2 cup cream cheese.she then divided the mixture between 2 bowls.How much mixture does courtlynn put in each bowl?

Answer 1

$\frac{7}{8} + \frac{4}{8} = \frac{11}{8}$. You then divide that by 2: $\frac{11}{8} / 2 = \frac{11}{8} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{11}{16}$ . So 11/16 of the mixture is put in each bowl.

Answer 2

Answer: Amount of mixture in each bowl is $\dfrac{11}{16}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Part of cup sour cream = $\dfrac{7}{8}$

Part of cup cream cheese = $\dfrac{1}{2}$

Combined mixture would be

$\dfrac{7}{8}+\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{7+4}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{11}{8}$

We need to divided the mixture between 2 bowls.

So, Amount of mixture that Courtlynn put in each bowl is given by

$\dfrac{\dfrac{11}{8}}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{11}{16}$

Hence, Amount of mixture in each bowl is $\dfrac{11}{16}$
