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.
