I meant Trail Mix C for the last one.

Answer 10

I got Trail Mix A but my teacher says that it is supposed to be Trail Mix C.

Answer 11

I converted everything to unit rates.

Answer 12

I put:
\[\frac{ $ }{ pound }\]

Answer 13

So to get one pound, I divided both the numerator and the denominator by 3/4 , 1 , 1/4.

Answer 14

I think its A

Answer 15

\[\frac{ $6 }{ \frac{ 3 }{ 4 } } = \frac{ 6 }{ 1 } \times \frac{ 4 }{ 3 } = \frac{ 8 }{ 1 } = $8\]
