Question

Gina is making bags of trail mix for hiking club. She will use 20 ounces of walnuts, 11.2 ounces of almonds, and 28.3 ounces of cashews. This amount makes 25 bags of trail mix. How many ounces are in each bag?

Answer 1

Answer:

there will be 2.38 ounces in one bag of the trail mix

Answer 2

Answer:

2.15 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

The total ounces of nuts in the bag is calculated as:

20 ounces of walnuts + 11.1 ounces of almonds + 24.8 ounces of cashews = 55.9 ounces.

From the question we are told that these amounts make 26 bags.

The number of ounces that are in each bag is calculated as:

26 bags = 55.9 ounces

1 bag = x ounces

Cross Multiply

26 bags × x ounces = 1 bag × 55.9 ounces

x ounces = 1 bag × 55.9 ounces/26 bags

x ounces = 2.15 ounces

Therefore, there are 1.94 ounces in each bag
