Answer:
that is 6 and 5/ 12 cups of flour are required
Step-by-step explanation:
total number of cups required to make a loaf of bread
= 3 + ¾
making their denominators equal and that to 4
= 12/ 4 + 3/ 4
adding numerators
= (12 + 3)/ 4
= 15/ 4
total cups of flour required to make pretzels
= 2 + ⅔
making their denominators equal and that to 3
= 6/ 3 + 2/ 3
adding nunerators
= (6 + 2)/ 3
= 8/ 3
Total cups required:-
= 15/ 4 + 8/ 3
taking lcm of denominators to make the fractions equivalent
= {(15 × 3) + (8 × 4)}/ 12
= {45 + 32}/ 12
= 77/ 12
<em>that is 6 and 5/ 12 cups of flour are required</em>.
