Question

ANSWER ASAP PLEASE!!!!! Chen is baking cookies and a cake for a party. He needs 3 1/5 cups of flour to make the cookies and 3 2/3 cups of flour to make the cake. Which is the best estimate of the number of cups of flour that Chen needs to bake both recipes?

Answer 1

3+3= 6 cup
1/5 (times numerator and denominator by 3) = 3/15
2/3 (times numerator and denominator by 5) = 10/15
3/15+10/15=13/15
Therefore, 6 13/15. But it does call for an estimate so you can round up to 7 cups

Answer 2

Answer:

B) 7 Cups of Flour

Step-by-step explanation:

After adding the two amounts you should get 6 13/15

This quesion requires rounding and 6 13/15 rounds off to 7

Hence, the best estimate of the number of cups of flour that Chen needs is 7 cups
