Maya makes trail mix by combining \(\frac{1}{3}\) cup of mixed nuts and \(\frac{1}{4}\) cup of dried fruit. What is the total amount of ingredients in her trail mix?
\(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{7}{12}\)
Maya uses \(\frac{1}{12}\) cup of ingredients.
Write a new problem using different amounts for each ingredient. Each amount should be a fraction with a denominator of 2, 3, or 4. Then use fraction strips to solve your problem.
