Gayle, Irma and when'll each made a cake. Gayle used 3 1/4 cups of flour, Irma used 2 2/3 cups of flour, and wynell used 4 1/2 cups of flour. How much total flour did the three ladies use?

Answer: the total cups of flour that the three ladies used is 10 5/12 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Gayle used 3 1/4 cups of flour.

Converting 3 1/4 cups of flour to improper fraction, it becomes 13/4 cups of flour.

Irma used 2 2/3 cups of flour. Converting 2 2/3 cups of flour to improper fraction, it becomes 8/3 cups of flour.

Wynell used 4 1/2 cups of flour. Converting 4 1/2 cups of flour to improper fraction, it becomes 9/2 cups of flour.

Therefore, the total number of cups of flour that Gayle, Wynell and Irma used would be

13/4 + 8/3 + 9/2 = (39 + 32 + 54) / 12

= 125/12 = 10 5/12 cups of flour.
