cup. This is the total amount of cinnamon sugar the recipe makes
To find 1/8 + 1/2, we can find a common denominator which is 8. Rewriting the fractions with the common denominator, we get: 1/8 + 4/8 = 5/8.
Interpreting this sum in the context of the problem, 5/8 cup is the total amount of cinnamon sugar the recipe makes.
To find 1/8 + 1/2, we need to add the fractions together. We can do this by finding a common denominator.
The common denominator of 8 and 2 is 8, so we can rewrite the fractions as 1/8 + 4/8.
Now, we can add the numerators and keep the denominator the same: 1 + 4 = 5.
Therefore, 1/8 + 1/2 = 5/8 cup.
In the context of the problem, this sum represents the total amount of cinnamon sugar that the recipe makes, which is 5/8 cup.
