Information For The Question: Maya makes trail mix by combining 1\4 cup of mixed nuts, 1\3 cup of dried fruit, and 1\6 cup of chocolate morsels.

Question:

What is the total amount of ingredients in her trail mix using 12 as the Denominator?

3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6=3/4 of a cup-total amount of ingredients in her trail mix.

Simplify the following:

1/3+1/4+1/6

Put 1/3+1/4+1/6 over the common denominator 12. 1/3+1/4+1/6  =  4/12+3/12+2/12:

4/12+3/12+2/12

4/12+3/12+2/12  =  (4+3+2)/12:

(4+3+2)/12

4+3+2 = 9:

9/12

The gcd of 9 and 12 is 3, so 9/12 = (3×3)/(3×4) = 3/3×3/4 = 3/4:
