Question

Ava was making muffins. she used 1 1/3 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp of nutmeg. how many teaspoons of spice did ava use?

Answer 1

1 5/6 


1 1/3 = 4/3 (1x3+1)
4/3 and 1/2 do not have the same denominator so you'd have to find the lowest common denominator, which is 6. the new fractions would be 8/6 and 3/6 which would equal 11/6 or 1 5/6!

Hope that helps!
