Question

A recipe uses $\frac{3}{7}$ cups of flour and $\frac{2}{7}$ cups of sugar. Together, cups of flour and sugar are used.

• A. $\frac{6}{7}$
• B. $\frac{1}{7}$
• C. $\frac{5}{7}$
• D. $\frac{4}{7}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{5}{7}$

Fraction of the flour used =$\frac{3}{7}$

Fraction of the sugar used = $\frac{2}{7}$

Calculate the fraction of the flour and sugar used in the recipe.
For that, add both the fractions.

So, let's draw the tape diagram with 7 equal parts and shade the bar for both the given fractions.

Hence, $\frac{5}{7}$ cups of flour and sugar are used altogether.
