Nica is making a cinnamon and sugar mixture to sprinkle on toast his recipe uses 1/8 cup of cinnamon and 1/2 cup of sugar find 1/8+1/2 and interpret this sum in the context of the problem
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, the sum of 1/8 + 1/2 is 5/8.
In the context of the problem, this means that the cinnamon and sugar mixture Nica is making requires a total of 5/8 cup of ingredients.
To find the sum of 1/8 and 1/2, we need to have a common denominator. In this case, the least common denominator is 8.
Converting 1/2 to have a denominator of 8, we get:
1/2 = 4/8
Now, we can add the two fractions:
1/8 + 4/8 = 5/8
Interpreting this sum in the context of the problem, Nica needs a total of 5/8 cups of the cinnamon and sugar mixture to sprinkle on toast.
