Hayley Baked A Cheescake. She used 5/8 pound cream cheese, 4/16 pound sugar, and 6/8 pound peaches. How much did the ingredients weigh altogether?

8 is a factor of 16, so you would multiply the numerator and denominator of 5/8 and 6/8 by 2. this would be 10/16 and 12/8. add all of the numbers together = 10+12+4 which equals 26. it’d be 26/16 or 1 and 10/16.

Answer:

1[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

equation: [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]+[tex]\frac{14}{16}[/tex]+[tex]\frac{6}{8}[/tex]=x

but we cannot solve this because not all of the fractions have an equal denominator. so, we can multiply [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{6}{8}[/tex] each by two.

why?

because 8x2 is 16 and if you multiply them you get a common denominator of 16, making it way easier to add up the fractions.

so, what you do to the top you do to the bottom:

[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] [tex]\frac{x2}{x2}[/tex] [tex]\frac{10}{16}[/tex] [tex]\frac{6}{8}[/tex] [tex]\frac{x2}{x2}[/tex] [tex]\frac{12}{16}[/tex]

so, [tex]\frac{10}{16}[/tex]+[tex]\frac{12}{16}[/tex]+[tex]\frac{4}{16}[/tex] equals to [tex]\frac{26}{16}[/tex].

[tex]\frac{26}{16}[/tex] = 1 [tex]\frac{10}{16}[/tex].

however 1[tex]\frac{10}{16}[/tex] can be simplified more.

divide top and bottom by 2 and get 1[tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

the picture would be the work shown. messy kuz i used paint from windows with a mouse but tried to make it neat as possible.

plz give me a brainliesttttt
