Answer: 13 [tex]\frac{65}{72}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is asking us to find the total flour used, so we will add the two amounts together.
5 1/8 + 8 7/9
-
5 + 8 = 13
1/8 + 7/9 = 9/72 + 56/72 = 65/72
-
13 + 65/72 = 13 [tex]\frac{65}{72}[/tex]
The recipe calls for 13 [tex]\frac{65}{72}[/tex] cups of flour.
