Do you know how to convert them into improper fractions?

anonymous · Answer

no not really im not good with fractions

superflytyguy · Answer

okay. Here how we do it.

2 1/3 needs to be an improper fraction

Multiply the denominator and add the numerator. 

2 1/3 = 2 x 3 = 6     6 + 1 = 7 

2 1/3 = 7/3

superflytyguy · Answer

Same thing with 1 3/4 

1 x 4 = 4      4 + 3 = 7 

So 7/4

:Dhope that helps

superflytyguy · Answer

Now we gotta find the LCD

The denominators 3 and 4 have 12 in common

superflytyguy · Answer

7/3 = 28/12

7/4 = 21/12

Add both of those up

28/12 + 21/12 = 49/12

49/12 = 4 1/12

No, they DO NOT have enough flour
