Andrew received a letter from his pen pal Douglas. It read:

Dear Andrew,

Greetings! How is your hamster? My sister is still practicing piano. I still think we can work a trade.

I want to tell you about a recipe for trail mix I really like. It’s 1/3 cup dried apples and 1/3 cup dried bananas. I can’t eat it all at once. 2/6 cup is really a lot. Let me know if you like it, too.

You pen pal,

Douglas

P.S. My sister says I need to work on adding fractions.

 

Do you agree with Douglas’ sister? Write a letter to Douglas explaining your thoughts. You may draw some pictures to help explain your thinking.
