To make granola, mix together 3/8 of a cup of cereal with 1/6 of a cup of honey. How many cups of granola will the recipe make?
3/8 = 9/24
1/6 = 4/24
(9/24) + (4/24) = 13/24 -- just over 1/2 cup
To find the number of cups of granola the recipe will make, we need to add the quantities of cereal and honey together.
First, let's find a common denominator for 3/8 and 1/6. The least common multiple of 8 and 6 is 24.
Next, we'll convert both fractions to have a denominator of 24.
For 3/8, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3 to get 9/24.
For 1/6, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 4 to get 4/24.
Now, we can add the two fractions together:
9/24 + 4/24 = 13/24.
Therefore, the recipe will make 13/24 cups of granola.
