Answer: Amount of mixture in each bowl is [tex]\dfrac{11}{16}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Part of cup sour cream = [tex]\dfrac{7}{8}[/tex]
Part of cup cream cheese = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
Combined mixture would be
[tex]\dfrac{7}{8}+\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{7+4}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{11}{8}[/tex]
We need to divided the mixture between 2 bowls.
So, Amount of mixture that Courtlynn put in each bowl is given by
[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{11}{8}}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{11}{16}[/tex]
Hence, Amount of mixture in each bowl is [tex]\dfrac{11}{16}[/tex]
