Answer:

7.5 cups of raisins, 10 cups of peanuts and 5 cups of chocolate chips.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The amount of ingredients needed for the trail mix are,

Raisins =  cup

Peanuts = 1 cup

Chocolate chips =  cup

Since, Kiran needs to make 10 cups of the trail mix.

The amount of ingredients needed will be,

Raisins =  =  = 7.5 cups

Peanuts = 1 × 10 = 10 cups

Chocolate chips =  = 5 cups

Hence, the ingredients needed are 7.5 cups of raisins, 10 cups of peanuts and 5 cups of chocolate chips.
