Lily, Juliet, and Willow are baking muffins. Lily has 1 1/2 cups of flour, Juliet has 3/4 cup of flour, and Willow has 1 2/6 cups of flour. How many cups of flour do they have altogether?

3 7/12

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are given the information that Lily has 1 1/2 cups of flour, Juliet has 3/4 cup of flour, and Willow has 1 2/6 cups of flour.

The number of cups of flour that they have altogether would be the addition of all the fractions of each girl. This would be:

= 1 1/2 + 3/4 + 1 2/6

The lowest common multiple is 12, therefore we make them have a common denominator

= 1 6/12 + 9/12 + 1 4/12

= 2 19/12

= 2 + 1 7/12

= 3 7/12 cups

i only know the sequence of arithmetic it adds the first is 5+4 then it goes up as it adds to then it is 9+5 then 14+6 then to 20+7 and so on. 5,9,14,20,27,35.
