srry i need to re write the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A recipe that makes 4 servings calls for 3/4 cup of apple juice and 2/3 cup of cranberry juice. How many cups of juice are there per serving?

OpenStudy (cloverracer):

Ohh I see now. So if the recipe calls for 4 servings, How many cups of apple juice and cranberry juice would you need for 1 serving?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soooooo

OpenStudy (cloverracer):

First \[\frac{ 3 }{ 4 } + \frac{ 2 }{ 3 }\] The answer to this gives you the total amount of juice all together.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (cloverracer):

Did you add the fractions correctly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 1 5/12

OpenStudy (cloverracer):

Oh you turned it into a mixed fraction, that is why it came out incorrectly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (cloverracer):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (cloverracer):
