Maths Word Problems


  1. Ben made two types of cookies. He used 2/3 cup of sugar for one recipe and 1/4 cup of sugar for the other. How much sugar (in cups) did he use in all?
4/4x2/3= 8/12
1/4x3/3=3/12

The answer is 8/12+3/12=11/12

  1. There is 3/8 of a pizza in one box and 1/4 of a pizza in another box. How much do you have altogether?

Simplify it:
So I counted how many 32’s in 44 and there was 1 there was remaining 12
The answer is 1 12/32
