Answer:
4 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
2 1/2 + 1 1/4 + 1/2 = 5/2 + 5/4 + 1/2
LCM = 4
5/2 x 2/2 = 10/4
5/4 = 5/4
1/2 x 2/2 = 2/4
10/4 + 5/4 + 2/4 = 17/4
= 4 1/4
Therefore he put 4 1/4 cups altogether.
If you are looking to turn it into an expression:
1/3w+16
or it could possibly be (if you are looking at inequalities):
1/3w<16
Is it 3 miles? From what you wrote, I believe this would be the answer.
