Yes, you can convert the fractions into decimals and then add them together to determine if they have enough flour for both recipes. Here's how you can do it:
First, convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions:
2 1/3 = (3 x 2 + 1) / 3 = 7/3
1 3/4 = (4 x 1 + 3) / 4 = 7/4
Next, convert the fractions into decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator:
7/3 = 7 ÷ 3 = 2.3333...
7/4 = 7 ÷ 4 = 1.75
Now, add the decimals together:
2.3333... + 1.75 ≈ 4.0833...
Since the sum is approximately 4.0833 and they have 4 cups of flour, they do not have enough flour for both recipes.
