Question #006e9

Answer 1

`1 1/4` `"cups"`

Explanation:

Because if you turn `1/2` cups into the same denominator as `3/4` cups, then the question becomes

`3/4 "cups" + 2/4 "cups" = 5/4 "cups"`

Now, to further simplify that answer, you'll have to divide the numerator `5` by the denominator `4`. You can only use this method if the numerator is bigger than the denominator.

You divide `5` by `4` you would have `1` and a remainder of `1` the first `1` is one whole and the second one is one-quarter. In numbers, it would look like `1` whole and `1/4` which is

`1 1/4` `"cups"`

Hope you understand! :)
