Question

Hanna baked a cake, she used 6 tenths of flour, 3 eggs and4 fifths of sugar. how man ingredients did she used..

Answer 1

You need to add them up together so it will be 4 and 2\5

Answer 2

Since the question wants to know how many ingredients she used, All we have to do is add them.

So as the question says, she used 6/10 flour, 3 eggs, and 4/5 sugar.

Now we have two fractions in this scenario. Let's make them have the same denominator. Either we divide 6/10 by 2 or multiply 4/5 by 2. Let's multiply.

4/5 × 2 = 8/10

Now we have 6/10, 3, and 8/10

Lets add them together.

3 + 6/10 = 3 and 6/10

Now 3 and 6/10 + 8/10 = 4 and 4/10

Simplify even further...

and your answer will be 4 and 2/5
