Is 2/3 cup equal to 1/3 cup + 1/3 cup?

Question

I'm cooking and must have fried my brain some time back because I have no recall with the fractions! I don't have a 2/3 cup to work with. Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

Yes.

Answer 2

Yes. 1/3 is a fraction; the top number (1) is the "numerator" and the bottom (3) is the "denominator." When denominators between fractions are the same, simply add the numerators. In this case, 1/3 + 1/3 = (1+1)/3 = 2/3.

Answer 3

1/3 + 1/3 = 2/3

Answer 4

You don't have a full cup measuring cup? Well- what are you making? If you're baking a cake, cookies, brownies- then you need to be exact. But if it's not baking- close enough will work- use your 3/4 cup and use a little less than that. Your 3/4 cup is .75 of a cup and 2/3 of a cup is .67 of a cup.

Answer 5

yes, you are correct.

1/3+1/3=2/3
Since both bottom numbers are the same, just add up the top numbers.

Answer 6

think of cuttin a cake,, to understand fractions,,.

say you cut a cake into 3 pieces and took 2

and another day you cut the same cake to the same 3 pieces,, and took 1 pieces first and then the other piece

now that would be you taking 1/3 of the cake once then another 1/3 so thats 2 pieces of cake of the original 3,, whcih is equal to the first 2/3 of the cake,,

try to understand what your doin then its much easier,, have fun!!!

Answer 7

Indeed it is.

But would you then say the cup was 1/3 empty, or 2/3 full?

Answer 8

Answer 9
