George and his dad made some snack mix for their camping trip. To make it, they used 2 cups of mini pretzels, 3/4 cup of peanuts, and 2/3 cup of chocolate chips. How many cups of snack mix did they have when they were finished?
They had 17/12 ( 17 over 12, or 1 and 5 over 12) So the fractions have to have the same denominator. 12 is their common denominator. So: 3/4 = 9/12 2/3=8/12
