Question

Jan needs 1/3 of chocolate chips to make cookies and 3/4 cup to make brownies. How many cups does she need altogether?

Answer 1

Answer:

She needs 1½ cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cups she needs altogether = 1/3 + 3/4 =(4+9)/12 = 13/12 = 1½

Answer 2

1/3 + 3/4 = 4/12 + 9/12 = 13/12 = 1 1/12 cups (one and a twelfth)
