Patrick added 1/4 teaspoons of cayenne pepper and 1/3 teaspoons of black pepper to his enchilada sauce. What is the total amount of the two spices that Patrick added to his sauce?
You first make a common denominator. You make both the denominators 12, then make one numerator 3 and another numerator 4. Now you have an easy equation; 3/12 + 4/12, which equals to 7/12
