Step-by-step explanation:

Emily is baking a cake she added 1 3/8 cups of butter. Converting 1 3/8 cups of butter to improper fraction, it becomes 11/8 cups of butter.

She also added 2 2/8 cups of flour to a mixing bowl. Converting 2 2/8 cups of flour to improper fraction, it becomes 18/8 cups of flour.
