Lucas is making a recipe that requires 1/4 cup of wheat flour and 1 7/8 cups of white flour together how many cups of flower does the recipe require

To find the amount of flour needed, we can add the amount of white flour amd wheat flour together:

1/4 + 1 7/8

To calculate, we can the mixed fraction into improper fraction:

1/4 + (7+8)/8
=1/4 + 15/8

We can then find fhe common denominator for easier calculation:

1×2/4×2 + 15/8
=2/8 + 15/8
=17/8

It can also be written as:
17/8
=2 1/8

Therefore the answer is 17/8 cups.

Hope it helps!
