Question

MIguel is making a trail mix. He Uses five and one third ounces of nuts and two and tree fourths ounces of raisins Which of these is a reasonable estimate for how much more nuts Miguel uses than raisins?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2.58\ more\ nuts\ Miguel\ uses\ than\ raisins.$

Step-by-step explanation:

$Nuts\ used=5\frac{1}{3}\\\\Nuts\ used=\frac{16}{3}$

$Raisins\ used=2\frac{3}{4}\\\\Raisins\ used=\frac{11}{4}$

$difference\ between\ nuts\ and\ raisin=\frac{16}{3}-\frac{11}{4}=\frac{64-33}{12}=\frac{31}{12}\approx 2.58$

$2.58\ more\ nuts\ Miguel\ uses\ than\ raisins.$
