a. she whats 12 snack bags. how much of each ingredient does she need?

b. shonice decides that she would like to make snacks bags for her card club. there is 15 people in the card club. how much of each ingredient will she need?

Answer:

a. Shonice will need 9 cups of pretzels, 4 cups of peanuts and 3 cups of chocolate chips in 12 bags of snack bags.

b. Shonice will need  of $11\frac{1}{4}\ cups$ pretzels, 5 cups of peanuts and $3\frac{3}{4}\ cups$ of chocolate chips in 15 people of card club.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Amount of pretzels in each snack bag = $\frac{3}{4}\ cup$

Amount of peanuts in each snack bag = $\frac{1}{3}\ cup$

Amount of chocolate chips in each snack bag = $\frac{1}{4}\ cup$

Solving for part a.

Number of snack bags she wants = 12

We need to find amount of each ingredients required in 12 snack bags.

Solution:

1 bag = $\frac{3}{4}\ cup$ of pretzels

12 bags = Amount of pretzels in 12 snack bag

By using Unitary method we get;

Amount of pretzels in 12 snack bag = $\frac{3}{4}\times12 = 9 \ cups$

Also,

1 bag = $\frac{1}{3}\ cup$ of peanut

12 bags = Amount of peanuts in 12 snack bag

By using Unitary method we get;

Amount of peanuts in 12 snack bag = $\frac{1}{3}\times12 = 4 \ cups$

Also;

1 bag = $\frac{1}{4}\ cup$ of chocolate chips

12 bags = Amount of chocolate chips in 12 snack bag

By using Unitary method we get;

Amount of chocolate chips in 12 snack bag = $\frac{1}{4}\times12 = 3 \ cups$

Hence Shonice will need 9 cups of pretzels, 4 cups of peanuts and 3 cups of chocolate chips in 12 bags of snack bags.

Solving for part b.

Number of snack bags she wants = 15

We need to find amount of each ingredients required in 15 snack bags.

Solution:

1 bag = $\frac{3}{4}\ cup$ of pretzels

15 bags = Amount of pretzels in 15 snack bag

By using Unitary method we get;

Amount of pretzels in 15 snack bag = $\frac{3}{4}\times15 = \frac{45}{4} \ cups\ \ Or \ \ 11\frac{1}{4}\ cups$

Also,

1 bag = $\frac{1}{3}\ cup$ of peanut

15 bags = Amount of peanuts in 15 snack bag

By using Unitary method we get;

Amount of peanuts in 15 snack bag = $\frac{1}{3}\times15 = 5 \ cups$

Also;

1 bag = $\frac{1}{4}\ cup$ of chocolate chips

15 bags = Amount of chocolate chips in 15 snack bag

By using Unitary method we get;

Amount of chocolate chips in 15 snack bag = $\frac{1}{4}\times15 = \frac{15}{4} \ cups \ \ Or \ \ 3\frac{3}{4}\ cups$

Hence Shonice will need  of $11\frac{1}{4}\ cups$ pretzels, 5 cups of peanuts and $3\frac{3}{4}\ cups$ of chocolate chips in 15 people of card club.
