Answer:
Cups of sugar Maria use altogether = [tex]\frac{43}{8}[/tex]=[tex]5\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For six batch of cookies Maria use = [tex]4\frac{3}{4}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{19}{4}[/tex]
For extra batch of cookies sugar used = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
Now we have to calculate total number of cups used by Maria.
For this we will add both the fraction.
[tex]=[/tex] [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] [tex]+[/tex] [tex]\frac{19}{4}[/tex]
We have taken LCM of the denominator [tex](4,8)[/tex] and that is [tex]= (8)[/tex]
[tex]=[/tex] [tex]\frac{5+38}{8}[/tex]
[tex]=[/tex] [tex]\frac{43}{8}[/tex]
[tex]=[/tex] [tex]5\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
So our final answer is [tex]=[/tex][tex]\frac{43}{8}[/tex] Or [tex]=[/tex][tex]5\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
