Question

a bread recipe calls for one and 1/2 cups of regular flour and one and 1/5 cups of wheat flour. What is the total amount of flower needed?

Answer 1

To calculate the total amount of flour needed, you need to add the amounts of regular flour and wheat flour together.

1. **Regular flour:** \(1 \frac{1}{2} = 1.5\) cups
2. **Wheat flour:** \(1 \frac{1}{5} = 1.2\) cups

Now, add these two amounts together:

\[
1.5 + 1.2 = 2.7 \text{ cups}
\]

So, the total amount of flour needed is **2.7 cups**.
