Question

Maria made six batches of cookies. Her friends asked him to make an extra batch. He used 4 3/4 cups of sugars and needs another 5/8 cups for the extra batch. How many cups of sugar will Maria use altogether.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cups of sugar Maria use altogether = $\frac{43}{8}$=$5\frac{3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For six batch of cookies Maria use = $4\frac{3}{4}$=$\frac{19}{4}$

For extra batch of cookies sugar used = $\frac{5}{8}$

Now we have to calculate total number of cups used by Maria.

For this we will add both the fraction.

$=$ $\frac{5}{8}$ $+$ $\frac{19}{4}$

We have taken LCM of the denominator $(4,8)$ and that is $= (8)$

$=$ $\frac{5+38}{8}$

$=$ $\frac{43}{8}$

$=$ $5\frac{3}{8}$

So our final answer is $=$$\frac{43}{8}$ Or $=$$5\frac{3}{8}$
