Question

A cookie recipe calls for 2 1/4 cups of chocolate chips and 1 1/2 cups of butterscotch chips. How much is needed altogether for the recipe of both chocolate and butterscotch chips? Explain how you used math to determine your answer.

Answer 1

Hi Ash,

To answer the question, we need to simply add the two fractions.

2 and 1/4 + 1 and 1/2.

Convert the second fraction to fourths by multiplying both numerator and denominator by 2

2 and 1/4 + 1 and 2/4

Now add the whole numbers and also add the fractions.

The answer is 3 and 3/4.
