Question

Zaire is making granola bars. For one batch of bars, the recipe requires 1 2/3 cups of rolled oats and 1/2 cups raisins. What is the combined amount, in cups, of rolled oats and raisins that is used in one batch of granola bars?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined amount in cups needed can be determined by adding the cups of rolled oats with the cups of raisins

$1\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{2}$

$1 \frac{4 +3}{6}$

= $1\frac{7}{6}$

Converting the improper fraction to mixed fraction gives

$1 + 1\frac{1}{6}$

$2\frac{1}{6}$
