Question

Directions: Write your own recipe for trail mix with a catchy name that will make people want to eat it. You can also create a slogan, logo, or package design for the mix. Your recipe must meet the following contest guidelines:
1. It must have at least five different ingredients.
2. The amount of each ingredient should be represented by a different mixed number.
3. The recipe must make exactly 10 cups of trail mix.
After you write your recipe, complete the following for your contest entry:
• Prove that your recipe makes exactly 10 cups.
• Explain the most efficient method for measuring each ingredient using only
the following two measuring cups: 31 cup and 41 cup. You can use one or both of the measuring cups. Note: Depending on the fractions that you chose
for your ingredient amounts, it may not be possible to create each exact amount using only 13 and 14 measuring cups. If you need to, you can round your ingredient amounts using benchmarks and then explain how you would estimate that amount. For example, if you need 74 cup of an ingredient, 74
cup is slightly more than 12 cup. You could fill up your 14 measuring cup twice to make 12 cup of that ingredient, and then add just a tiny bit more to estimate 74 cup.
• Use equations or other models to show how you would measure each ingredient amount with only the two measuring cup sizes.
