Question

Ami and Dan are going to bake a cake. They need two and a half cups of flour. Ami has 5/4 cups of flour, and Dan has 4/3 cups of flour. Do they have enough flour to bake the cake? *

Answer 1

Answer:

They have enough.

$2\frac{6}{12} <2\frac{7}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{4}{3}+ \frac{5}{4}$

4 = 2 × 2

3 = 3 × 1

LCM of 4 and 3

= 2 × 2 × 3 × 1

= 12

$4(\frac{4}{3})+ 3(\frac{5}{4})$

$\frac{16}{12}+ \frac{15}{12}$

$\frac{31}{12} =2\frac{7}{12}$

$2\frac{1}{2} =2\frac{6}{12}$

$2\frac{6}{12} <2\frac{7}{12}$
