Anya uses 1(1)/(2)kg of flour, 2(1)/(3)kg of cheese and (1)/(4)kg of pepperoni to make pizza. Find the total mass of ingredients she uses?

Convert to Improper Fractions: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions for easier addition. 1(1)/(2) = (2*1 + 1)/2 = 3/2 kg of flour, 2(1)/(3) = (3*2 + 1)/3 = 7/3 kg of cheese, (1)/(4) kg of pepperoni remains the same.Add Fractions: Add the fractions together. Total mass = (3/2) + (7/3) + (1/4) To add, find a common denominator, which is 12. (3/2) = 18/12, (7/3) = 28/12, (1/4) = 3/12 Total mass = 18/12 + 28/12 + 3/12 = 49/12 kgConvert Back to Mixed Number: Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number. 49/12 = 4(1)/(12) kg

Convert to Improper Fractions: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions for easier addition. $\newline$ $1\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2\times1 + 1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$ kg of flour, $\newline$ $2\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3\times2 + 1}{3} = \frac{7}{3}$ kg of cheese, $\newline$ $\frac{1}{4}$ kg of pepperoni remains the same.
Add Fractions: Add the fractions together. $\newline$ Total mass = $(\frac{3}{2}) + (\frac{7}{3}) + (\frac{1}{4})$ $\newline$ To add, find a common denominator, which is $12$ . $\newline$ $(\frac{3}{2}) = \frac{18}{12}$ , $(\frac{7}{3}) = \frac{28}{12}$ , $(\frac{1}{4}) = \frac{3}{12}$ $\newline$ Total mass = $\frac{18}{12} + \frac{28}{12} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{49}{12}$ kg
Convert Back to Mixed Number: Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number. $\frac{49}{12} = 4\frac{1}{12}$ kg
