Dante is baking two different recipes, cookies and brownies. The cookie recipe requires 1.5 cups of sugar, and the brownie recipe requires 1.25 cups of sugar.
Write an addition equation to represent the total amount of sugar Dante needs.
I believe you should be adding the amount of sugar in each recipe, so the equation would probably look like this:
1.5 + 1.25 = ?
*Equations always have equal signs
2.75
To represent the total amount of sugar Dante needs, you can write an addition equation by adding the amounts of sugar required for the cookie and brownie recipes together.
Let's represent the amount of sugar needed for the cookie recipe as "C" and the amount of sugar needed for the brownie recipe as "B".
The amount of sugar needed for the cookie recipe is 1.5 cups, so C = 1.5.
The amount of sugar needed for the brownie recipe is 1.25 cups, so B = 1.25.
To find the total amount of sugar Dante needs, we can add C and B together:
C + B = 1.5 + 1.25
Therefore, the addition equation to represent the total amount of sugar Dante needs is:
C + B = 2.75
