Question

Liam used 2 cups of milk for a
pancake recipe and drank another
93 cups of milk. About how much
milk did he use in all?
4

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

If Liam drank 2 $\frac{2}{9}$ cups and used 9  $\frac{3}{4}$ cups of milk, then you have to find the lowest common multiple of both the fractions, which would be 36. Then you multiply 2 from 2 over 9 by 4, and 3 from 3 over 4 by 9. Then you add the results which will give you 36 over 36 which equals 1. Then you add the whole numbers, 2 + 9 + 1 = 12.

EQUATION: LCM of $\frac{2}{9}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$ = 36

                     2 x 4 + 3 x 9 = 36
                     $\frac{36}{1}$=1

                     2 + 9 + 1 = 12
