Answer 14

From where did you get the problem we're currently working on?

Answer 15

If it's on your computer screen, can you copy (do a screen shot of) the problem, save that to your computer and then upload it to OpenStudy?

Answer 16

there it is

Answer 17

Thank you. Ella, your original post was "I need 5 fraction to equal exactly 10 using only 1/3 and/or 1/4." This is VERY different from the problem in the screen shot you've shared with me. That's why this discussion has been so confusing for you.

Answer 18

ok

Answer 19

Does the problem say what the ingredients are, such as sugar, flour, vanilla, etc.?

Answer 20

have to make up the ingredients. You have to write a recipe for trail mix.

Answer 21

*I have to-

Answer 22

OK, then. You want 10 cups of the stuff.
If you recognize that 3(1/3 cup) = 1 cup,
then you could fill the 1/3 cup measure 3 times for each cup of that ingredient.

Answer 23

Or you could fill the 1/4 cup measure 4 times for each cup of that ingredient.

At least, that's how I interpret the question.

Answer 24

Ok thanks!

Answer 25

Can't think of much else to say about this. Supposing you don't have a 1 cup measure and don't have a 1/2 cup measure. Then you have to make do with the two measures you do have, which are the 1/4 cu and the 1/3 cup measures. Any questions?

Answer 26

nope. all good

Answer 27

Good for you. Take care. Over and out!
