Answer: The answer is [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}~\textup{cups}.[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation: Given that Elizabeth made an English muffin pizza by adding the following quantities of cheese and sausage..
Cups of cheese used by Elizabeth is given by
[tex]C_c=\dfrac{1}{4}~\textup{cups}.[/tex]
And cups of sausage used by Elizabeth is given by
[tex]C_s=\dfrac{3}{8}~\textup{cups}.[/tex]
Therefore, total number of cups of toppings used by Elizabeth is
[tex]C=C_c+C_s=\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{3}{8}=\dfrac{5}{8}~\textup{cups}.[/tex]
Thus, the number cups of toppings used is [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}~\textup{cups}.[/tex]
