Answer:

5 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

hi! to find the sum of the soup mix, we have to add all the fractions together.

7/4 + 1/2 + 5/3 + 1/3 +1/4 + 1/2

we have to find a common denominator for each, which is the LCM of the denominators. this would be 12. let's change the fractions so we can add them up.

21/12 + 6/12 + 20/12 + 4/12 + 3/12 + 6/12

add the numerators and keep the denominators the same.

(21+6+20+4+3+6)/12

60/12

this simplifies to 5.

the total amount of soup mix is 5 cups.

Answer:

5 cups of soup mix

Step-by-step explanation:

Make all the denominators equal. The lowest common denominator is 12 so multiple the denominators with 4 by 3, 2 by 6, and 3 by 4.

[tex]\frac{7}{4} *3=\frac{21}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2} *6=\frac{6}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{5}{3} *4=\frac{20}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{3} *4=\frac{4}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{4} *3=\frac{3}{12}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2} *6=\frac{6}{12}[/tex]

Now that all the fractions have the same denominator you can add them all together.

[tex]\frac{21}{12} +\frac{6}{12} +\frac{20}{12} +\frac{4}{12} +\frac{3}{12} +\frac{6}{12}=\frac{60}{12}[/tex]

Then simplify the fraction to find out how many total cups of soup mix you have.

[tex]\frac{60}{12} =5[/tex]

5 cups of soup mix
