If you mix the baking soda and salt together, how many teaspoons will there be in all? Chocolate-chip cookies INGREDIENTS: 1 cup sugar \( 1 \frac{7}{8} \) cups flour \( \frac{1}{2} \) cup butter \( \frac{1}{2} \) teaspoon baking soda \( \frac{1}{2} \) teaspoon salt \( 1 \frac{1}{2} \) cups chocolate chips 1 egg Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number. \( \square \) teaspoons

To find the total number of teaspoons when mixing baking soda and salt together, we need to add the amounts of each ingredient. 1. **Identify the amounts:** - Baking soda: \( \frac{1}{2} \) teaspoon - Salt: \( \frac{1}{2} \) teaspoon 2. **Add the two amounts together:** \[ \text{Total} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \] 3. **Perform the addition:** \[ \text{Total} = \frac{1 + 1}{2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \] Thus, the total amount of baking soda and salt mixed together is \( 1 \) teaspoon. The final answer is: \[ 1 \text{ teaspoon} \]
