Hello! Sorry that I'm late. Okay, so each batch calls for 2 2/3 cups of granola and 1 1/3 cups of peanuts. Let's divide the number of cups available total by the amount per batch. To divide fractions, keep the first fraction the same, change division into multiplication, and flip the other faction over. Let's do it. 12/1 * 3/8 = 36/8 or 4 1/2 in mixed number form. 17/2 * 3/4 = 51/8 or 6 3/8 in simplest form. You can only make 4 full batches of trail mix, because you can only use the full serving of both granola AND peanuts for 4 of them.
extraneous root is a solution o an equation that seems to be right but when we check it (by substituting it into the original equation) it turns out not to be right
