cup. This is the total amount of cinnamon sugar the recipe makes.
To find 1/8 + 1/2, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator of 8 and 2 is 8.
1/8 + 1/2 = 1/8 + 4/8 = 5/8
Therefore, 1/8 + 1/2 = 5/8.
In the context of the problem, the sum 5/8 represents the total amount of the cinnamon and sugar mixture Micah's recipe makes.
To find 1/8 + 1/2, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8.
So, 1/8 can be written as 1/8 * 8/8 = 8/64.
And 1/2 can be written as 1/2 * 4/4 = 32/64.
Now we can add the fractions: 8/64 + 32/64 = 40/64.
Interpreting this sum in the context of the problem, Micah's recipe makes a total of 40/64 cup of the cinnamon and sugar mixture.
