9) You are asked that to find the total cups of liquid in the recipe. This means that you don't have to add in the cups of carrot and cup of flour. Only add the water chicken broth, and milk.

Write the equation out.

2 + 3 ½ + ⅓ =?

First, convert the mixed fraction into an improper fraction. Multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator.

3 ½ → 7/2

Next, write all the fractions under the common denominator. Ask yourself: What is the least common multiple of the numbers 2, 2, and 3? The LCM of those numbers is 3. Rewrite the fractions with the least coon denominator of 3.

2 → 12/6

7/2 → 21/6

1/3 → 2/6

Add all fractions together.

12/6 + 21/6 + 2/6 = 35/6

Write out 35/6 into a mixed fraction.

35/6 → 5 5/6

Solution: 5 5/6 cups of liquid

10) For this problem, all you have to do is divide 12 ½ by 4.

First, change 12 ½ into an improper fraction.

12 ½ → 25/2

So...

25/2 ÷ 4

Keep the first fraction, change the division sign, and flip the second fraction (it's basically 4/1).

25/2 × 1/4

Multiply across as usual.

25/8

Make this improper fraction into a mixed fraction.

25/8 → 3 ⅛
