Zoey made 5 1/2 cups of trail mix for a camping tip. She wants to divide the trail mix into 3/4 cup servings.
A)Ten people are going. Can Zoey make enough 3/4 cup servings so that each person on the trip has one serving?
B)What size would the servings need to be for everyone to have a serving?
C)If Zoey decides to use the 3/4 cup servings, how much more trail mix will she need?
THANK YOU!
(5 1/2) / (3/4) = 11/2 * 4/3 = 22/3 = 7 1/3
So, she has enough for 7 servings, with 1/3 serving left over.
For 10 people, she needs to have only
11/2 * 1/10 = 11/20 cup per serving
10 servings of 3/4 cup each is 30/4 = 7 1/2 cups
