Question

John uses 1 2 3 cups of milk to make a sauce recipe, and then uses 2 1 4 cups of milk to make a cake recipe. How much milk did he use in total to make the two recipes?

Answer 1

Answer:

3.91

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

John uses $1\dfrac{2}{3}$ cups of milk to make a sauce recipe, and then uses $2\dfrac{1}{4}$ cups of milk to make a cake recipe.

We need to find how much milk did he use in total to make the two recipes. It can be calculated by simply adding  $1\dfrac{2}{3}$ cups of milk and  $2\dfrac{1}{4}$ cups of milk. So,

$T=1\dfrac{2}{3}+2\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{3}+\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\=3.91$

So, she will need 3.91 units of milk to make the two recipes.
