Answer:
7 ounces of trail mix each hiker receive.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Milton makes a trail mix for his hiking group. He mixes 1 1/4 pound of peanuts, 14 ounces of raisins, 12 ounces of walnuts, and 10 ounces of chocolate chips.
If Milton divides the trail mix equally among the 8 hikers in the group.
Now, to find the ounces of trail mix each hiker receive.
Pound of peanuts =
Now, using conversion factor convert pound into ounces:
1 pounds = 16 ounces.
pounds =
=
Ounces of peanuts = 20.
Ounces of raisins = 14.
Ounces of walnuts = 12.
Ounces of chocolate chips = 10.
Now, we add all the ounces of peanuts, raisins, walnuts and chocolate chips to get the trail mix:
<u><em>Total ounces of trail mix = 56.</em></u>
<u><em>Total number of hikers = 8.</em></u>
As given, Milton divides the trail mix equally among the 8 hikers.
So, to get the trail mix each hiker receive we divide total number of hikers by total ounces of trail mix:
Therefore, 7 ounces of trail mix each hiker receive.
