Answer B
1 / 2 + 4 / 5 = 5 / 10 + 8 / 10 = 13 / 10 = 10 / 10 + 3 / 10 = 1 + 3 /10 = 1 3/10
OMG thank you i was running out of time
To find out how much milk Leshia needs to cook dinner, we need to add the quantities of milk required for the two recipes.
The first recipe calls for 1/2 a cup of milk, and the second recipe calls for 4/5 a cup of milk.
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator.
The smallest common denominator of 2 and 5 is 10.
Now, let's convert the fractions to have a denominator of 10:
1/2 can be multiplied by 5/5 to get 5/10.
4/5 already has a denominator of 5, so we just multiply it by 2/2 to get 8/10.
Now we can add the fractions: 5/10 + 8/10 = 13/10.
Since 13/10 is an improper fraction, we can convert it to a mixed number. We know that 10 can go into 13 once with a remainder of 3.
So, the answer is B. 1 3/10. Leshia needs 1 3/10 cups of milk to cook dinner.
