Question

Hayley Baked A Cheescake. She used 5/8 pound cream cheese, 4/16 pound sugar, and 6/8 pound peaches. How much did the ingredients weigh altogether?

Answer 1

8 is a factor of 16, so you would multiply the numerator and denominator of 5/8 and 6/8 by 2. this would be 10/16 and 12/8. add all of the numbers together = 10+12+4 which equals 26. it’d be 26/16 or 1 and 10/16.

Answer 2

Answer:

1$\frac{5}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

equation: $\frac{5}{8}$+$\frac{14}{16}$+$\frac{6}{8}$=x

but we cannot solve this because not all of the fractions have an equal denominator. so, we can multiply $\frac{5}{8}$ and $\frac{6}{8}$ each by two.

why?

because 8x2 is 16 and if you multiply them you get a common denominator of 16, making it way easier to add up the fractions.

so, what you do to the top you do to the bottom:

$\frac{5}{8}$ $\frac{x2}{x2}$ $\frac{10}{16}$              $\frac{6}{8}$ $\frac{x2}{x2}$ $\frac{12}{16}$

so, $\frac{10}{16}$+$\frac{12}{16}$+$\frac{4}{16}$ equals to $\frac{26}{16}$.

$\frac{26}{16}$ = 1 $\frac{10}{16}$.

however 1$\frac{10}{16}$ can be simplified more.

divide top and bottom by 2 and get 1$\frac{5}{8}$

the picture would be the work shown. messy kuz i used paint from windows with a mouse but tried to make it neat as possible.

plz give me a brainliesttttt
