zoey made 5 1/2 cups of trail mix for a camping trip. she wants to divide the trail mix into 3/4 cup servings. ten people are go
ing on the camping trip, cam zoey make enough 3/4 cup servings so that each person on the trip has one serving. plz i need these answers asap on the pic. # 13, a., b., and c.
A.) Number of 3/4 cup servings in 5 1/2 cups = 5 1/2 / 3/4 = 11/2 / 3/4 = 11/2 x 4/3 = 44/6 = 7 1/3 Therefore, Zoey did not make enough 3/4 cup serving to go round everybody.
b.) For, every one to have a serving, we have 5 1/2 cups which we want to go round ten people, so each person should get 5 1/2 / 10 = 11/2 / 10 = 11/2 x 1/10 = 11/20. So the serving should be 11/20 cup for every one to get serving.
c.) If she uses the 3/4 cup serving, then she will need 3/4 x 10 = 30/4 = 7 1/2 cups altogether. Therefore, she will need to make extra 7 1/2 - 5 1/2 = 2 cups of trail mix.
