Answer:

[tex]\sf Total \ amount \ of \ walnuts \ and \ pecans \ needed = \dfrac{7}{12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction addition:

    [tex]\sf Amount \ of \ walnut \ needed = \dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]

    [tex]\sf Amount \ of \ pecans \ needed =\dfrac{2}{6} =\dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

To find the total amount of walnut and pecans, we have to add the fractions.

  • Find the LCM of the denominators.
  • Find equivalent fractions using the LCM
  • Now, add the fractions

LCM of 4 & 3 = 12

Equivalent fractions:

      [tex]\sf \dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{1*3}{4*3}=\dfrac{3}{12}\\\\\dfrac{1}{3}=\dfrac{1*4}{3*4}=\dfrac{4}{12}[/tex]

Now, add

   [tex]\sf \dfrac{3}{12}+\dfrac{4}{12}=\dfrac{3+4}{12}[/tex]

                  [tex]\sf = \dfrac{7}{12}[/tex]
