Answer:

2 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

The combined amount in cups needed can be determined by adding the cups of rolled oats with the cups of raisins

[tex]1\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{2}[/tex]

[tex]1 \frac{4 +3}{6}[/tex]

= [tex]1\frac{7}{6}[/tex]

Converting the improper fraction to mixed fraction gives

[tex]1 + 1\frac{1}{6}[/tex]

[tex]2\frac{1}{6}[/tex]
