Question

A recipe for a soup calls for 2/4 cup of chopped onion and 1/5 cup of chopped celery. What is the total amount of celery and onion needed for the soup?

Answer 1

you have to make 2/4 and 1/5 have the same denominator first...do you know how to do that?

Answer 2

2/4 and 1/5 need to have the same denominator so you change them to
10/20 and 4/20
Subtract 4/20 from10/20
= 14/ 20
Simplify (Divide by 2)
7/10

Answer 3

Answer is 7/10
