Question

The ingredients for making chocolate cookies are 3/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/4 cup of white sugar, 3/2 cup of butter, 11/8 cup of flour, and 5/2 cup of chocolate chips. What is the total number of cups of ingredients needed in making chocolate cookies?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{51}{8}$ cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the ingredients for making chocolate cookies are $\frac{3}{4}$ cup of brown sugar, $\frac{1}{4}$ cup of white sugar, $\frac{3}{2}$ cup of butter, $\frac{11}{8}$ cup of flour, and $\frac{5}{2}$ cup of chocolate chips.

Now, we have to calculate the total number of cups of ingredients needed in making chocolate cookies.

So, it will be given by

$(\frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{2} + \frac{11}{8} + \frac{5}{2})$ cups

= $\frac{3 \times 2 + 1 \times 2 + 3 \times 4 + 11 + 5 \times 4}{8}$ cups

= $\frac{51}{8}$ cups. (Answer)
