Micah is making a cinnamon and sugar mixture to sprinkle on toast. His recipe uses 1/8
cup of cinnamon and 1/2
cup of sugar. Find 1/8+1/2
and interpret this sum in the context of the problem.(1 point)
To find 1/8 + 1/2, we need to first find a common denominator. The common denominator of 8 and 2 is 8.
1/8 can be written as 1/8 * 8/8 = 8/64.
1/2 can be written as 1/2 * 4/4 = 4/8.
Adding the fractions, we get:
8/64 + 4/8 = 12/64.
12/64 can be simplified to 3/16.
In the context of the problem, 1/8 + 1/2 represents the total amount of the cinnamon and sugar mixture Micah is using for the toast.

Solve the following problem:
It was −3°
C this morning, but the temperature has gone up 13°
over the course of the day. What is the temperature now?(1 point)
To find the temperature now, we need to add the change in temperature to the initial temperature.
The initial temperature is -3°C, and the temperature has gone up 13°C.
Adding these values, we get:
-3°C + 13°C = 10°C.
Therefore, the temperature now is 10°C.
Solve the following problem:
Samuel has $58.23 in his bank account. He withdraws $39.78. How much is in his bank account now?(1 point)
To find the amount of money in Samuel's bank account now, we need to subtract the amount he has withdrawn from his initial balance.
Initial balance: $58.23
Amount withdrawn: $39.78
Subtracting the amount withdrawn from the initial balance, we get:
$58.23 - $39.78 = $18.45.
Therefore, there is $18.45 in Samuel's bank account now.
