Question

A recipe needs two and one sixth cups of walnuts and eight and one eighth cups of peanuts. How many cups of nuts are needed for the recipe in all?

Answer 1

Answer: You will have one and two sixth cups of nuts in all or 1 2/6 cups.

Step-by-step explanation: 1.) add the first two fractions. 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6

2.) add the second fractions. 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/8 = 8/8 = 1

3.) add the whole number and fraction. 2/6 + 1 = 1 2/6.
