Answer 1

Answer:

3 and 17/24 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to make the denominator the same so find what number the 8 and 3 can both be turned into to make the same number. They can both be made into a 24. 8x3=24 so you multiply the 3 by 3 making 9. Do the same to the 1/3, multiplying both by 8 making 8/24.

2 9/24 and 1 8/24 which can be made into 3 17/24

Answer 2

Answer:

Amelie needs 3 17/24 cups of flour in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

If Amelie needs 2 3/8 cups and 1 1/3 cups then 2+1=3

Next, you need to find the gcf of 3 and 8. the Gcf is 24.

So you make 3/8 into 9/24 and 1/3 into 8/24.

Now that they have a common denominator you can just add across.

9 + 8 = 17 so Amelie needs 3 17/24 cups of flour.
