Answer: Total amount is given by
[tex]44\frac{13}{18}[/tex]
Explanation:
Since we have given that
Amount of a cup Mylee has is given by
[tex]17\frac{1}{2}=\frac{35}{2}[/tex]
Amount of a cup Samiya has is given by
[tex]27\frac{2}{9}=\frac{245}{9}[/tex]
Total amount of cup Samiya and Mylee has
[tex]\frac{35}{2}+\frac{245}{9}=\frac{315+490}{18}=\frac{805}{18}=44\frac{13}{18}[/tex]
Hence, total amount is given by
[tex]44\frac{13}{18}[/tex]
