What are the actual fractions of the 2-cup mixture?
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2%2A%281%2F3%29+%2B+2%2A%282%2F3%29+=+2+\"$ cups total
\n" ); document.write( "Now add $\"+1+=+3%2F3+\"$ cup of flour
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%28+2+%2B+3+%29%2A%281%2F3%29+%2B+2%2A%282%2F3%29+=+5%2F3+%2B+4%2F3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5%2F3+%2B+4%2F3+=+9%2F3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+9%2F3+=+3+\"$ cups of mix total
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The FRACTION of the 3-cup mix is:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%285%2F3%29+%2F+%289%2F3%29+=+5%2F9+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5%2F9+=+.5555+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The approximate % is
