Courtlynn combines 7/8 cup sour cream with 1/2 cup cream cheese.she then divided the mixture between 2 bowls.How much mixture does courtlynn put in each bowl?
\(\frac{7}{8} + \frac{4}{8} = \frac{11}{8}\). You then divide that by 2: \(\frac{11}{8} / 2 = \frac{11}{8} * \frac{1}{2} = \frac{11}{16}\) . So 11/16 of the mixture is put in each bowl.
Answer: Amount of mixture in each bowl is \(\dfrac{11}{16}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Part of cup sour cream = \(\dfrac{7}{8}\)
Part of cup cream cheese = \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)
Combined mixture would be
\(\dfrac{7}{8}+\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{7+4}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{11}{8}\)
We need to divided the mixture between 2 bowls.
So, Amount of mixture that Courtlynn put in each bowl is given by
\(\dfrac{\dfrac{11}{8}}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{11}{16}\)
Hence, Amount of mixture in each bowl is \(\dfrac{11}{16}\)
