Question

Salem is making sugar cookies. He needs 2 4/6 cups of white sugar and 1 1/6 cups of brown sugar. How much total sugar does Salem need to make his sugar cookies?

Answer 1

To find the total amount of sugar Salem needs, we can add together the amounts of white and brown sugar:

2 4/6 cups + 1 1/6 cups

First, let's convert 2 4/6 cups to a mixed number:
2 4/6 = 2 2/3

Now, let's add the white sugar and brown sugar together:
2 2/3 cups + 1 1/6 cups = 3 5/6 cups

Therefore, Salem needs a total of 3 5/6 cups of sugar to make his sugar cookies.
