Question

A snack recipe calls for 5 3/4 cups of cereal and 3 5/12 cups less of raisins. How many total cups of snack mix does the recipe make? Write in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

10 1/12 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so since we know that the recipe calls for 5 3/4 cups of cereal we can go ahead and say it's at least that much.

Then we have where it says there are 3 5/12 less cups of raisins we need to subtract this from 5 3/4 cups and we get 2 4/12 of raisins.

Final equation: 5 3/4+2 4/12= 10 1/12 cups

Hope this helps!!
