Question

Eliza and Jamie are making cupcakes for a bake sale at school. Eliza need 2 1/3 c of flour for her recipe, and Jamie needs 1 3/4 c for her recipe. They have 4 c of flour. Do they have enough flour for both recipe? Explain

Answer 1

2 1/3 + 1 3/4 = 4 1/12
4 1/12 > 4
Hence, they do not have enough flour for both recipes.
