Trail Mix Recipe

1 ½ cups of peanuts

2/3 cup of M&Ms

½ cup of raisins

1/3 cup of cashews

¼ cup of sunflower seeds

¼ cup of coconut

Measure all ingredients and mix in bowl. How many half cup servings will this recipe make?


A) 9 servings


B) 6 servings


C) 7 servings


D) 3.5 servings

Answer 1

gotta add them all up, then divide by \(\frac{1}{2}\) which is the same as multiplying by \(2\)

Answer 2

lets add smart, \(\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=1\)

Answer 3

\(1\tfrac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=2\) so now we are up to \(3\)

Answer 4

finally \(\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\) making a total of \(3\tfrac{1}{2}\)
double this to get your answer

Answer 5

@satellite73 So would I multiply 3 1/2 by 2 to get my answer ?

Answer 6

Answer 7

because dividing by \(\frac{1}{2}\) is the same as multiplying by \(2\)
