There are [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] of these components together
Solution:
As a science experiment Mo and Jo want to send their rocket into space
They need 1/4 cup of water and 1/6 cup of a secret component
From given question,
[tex]\text{Cup of water} = \frac{1}{4}\\\\\text{Cup of secret component } = \frac{1}{6}[/tex]
How much is there of these two components together?
So we need to add these together
[tex]\text{Cup of water}+ \text{Cup of secret component } = \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{6}\\\\\text{Cup of water}+ \text{Cup of secret component } = \frac{1 \times 6}{4 \times 6} + \frac{1 \times 4}{6 \times 4}\\\\\text{Cup of water}+ \text{Cup of secret component } =\frac{6}{24} + \frac{4}{24}\\\\\text{Cup of water}+ \text{Cup of secret component } = \frac{6+4}{24} = \frac{10}{24} = \frac{5}{12}[/tex]
Thus there are [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] of these components together
