Answer 1

ANSWER

$B)4\frac{1}{8}\text{ cups}$

EXPLANATION

We have that two ingredients are mixed to make a sauce.

The sauce contains 1/2 cup of chopped onions and 3 5/8 cups of crushed tomatoes.

To find the total number of cups of ingredients the sauce contains, we have to add the two fractions of ingredients.

That is:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}+3\frac{5}{8} \\ =3+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{5}{8} \\ =3+\frac{9}{8}=3+1\frac{1}{8} \\ =4\frac{1}{8}\text{ cups} \end{gathered}$

The answer is option B.
