Answer:
[tex]\sf Total \ amount \ of \ walnuts \ and \ pecans \ needed = \dfrac{7}{12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[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.
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]
