4. To find half of the recipe, you would use the operation of dividing by 2. This means you would divide each ingredient quantity by 2.
a) Cranberries, dried (8 3/4 oz. bag): To find half, divide 8 3/4 by 2. The answer is 4 3/8 oz.
b) Chocolate, button-shaped candy (9.9 oz. bag): Divide 9.9 by 2. The answer is 4.95 oz.
c) Cereal, loop (12.25 oz. bag): Divide 12.25 by 2. The answer is 6.125 oz.
d) Popcorn (16.5 oz. bag): Divide 16.5 by 2. The answer is 8.25 oz.
e) Nuts, mixed (16 1/2 oz. can): Divide 16 1/2 by 2. The answer is 8 1/4 oz.
5. To double the recipe, you would use the operation of multiplying by 2. This means you would multiply each ingredient quantity by 2.
a) Cranberries, dried (8 3/4 oz. bag): Multiply 8 3/4 by 2. The answer is 17 1/2 oz.
b) Chocolate, button-shaped candy (9.9 oz. bag): Multiply 9.9 by 2. The answer is 19.8 oz.
c) Cereal, loop (12.25 oz. bag): Multiply 12.25 by 2. The answer is 24.5 oz.
d) Popcorn (16.5 oz. bag): Multiply 16.5 by 2. The answer is 33 oz.
e) Nuts, mixed (16 1/2 oz. can): Multiply 16 1/2 by 2. The answer is 33 oz.
6. To find the amount of food in the second batch without the nuts, you would deduct the amount of nuts from the original recipe.
a) The amount to deduct from the recipe is the quantity of nuts, which is 16 1/2 oz.
b) Therefore, the second batch without the nuts would have the same quantities for all the other ingredients as stated before:
- Cranberries, dried: 17 1/2 oz
- Chocolate, button-shaped candy: 19.8 oz
- Cereal, loop: 24.5 oz
- Popcorn: 33 oz
- Nuts, mixed (removed from the recipe)
So, the second batch without nuts would have a total of 94.8 oz (the sum of the quantities of all the other ingredients).
To find half of the recipe, you would use the operation "multiply by 1/2" (option e).
4a. For each ingredient, here are the calculations for half of the recipe:
- Cranberries, dried (8 3/4 oz. bag): 8 3/4 oz. * 1/2 = 4 3/8 oz.
- Chocolate, button-shaped candy (9.9 oz. bag): 9.9 oz. * 1/2 = 4 15/18 oz. (or 4 5/6 oz. as an equivalent fraction)
- Cereal, loop (12.25 oz. bag): 12.25 oz. * 1/2 = 6 1/8 oz.
- Popcorn (16.5 oz. bag): 16.5 oz. * 1/2 = 8 1/4 oz.
- Nuts, mixed (16 1/2 oz. can): 16 1/2 oz. * 1/2 = 8 1/4 oz.
To double the recipe, you would use the operation "multiply by 2" (option b).
5. For each ingredient, here are the calculations for double the recipe:
- Cranberries, dried (8 3/4 oz. bag): 8 3/4 oz. * 2 = 17 1/2 oz.
- Chocolate, button-shaped candy (9.9 oz. bag): 9.9 oz. * 2 = 19 4/5 oz.
- Cereal, loop (12.25 oz. bag): 12.25 oz. * 2 = 24 1/2 oz.
- Popcorn (16.5 oz. bag): 16.5 oz. * 2 = 33 oz.
- Nuts, mixed (16 1/2 oz. can): 16 1/2 oz. * 2 = 33 oz.
6a. To find out how many ounces are in the second batch without the nuts, you deduct the amount of nuts from the original recipe. The amount to deduct is 16 1/2 oz (option b).
6b. The second batch without nuts will have the following amounts of food:
- Cranberries, dried (8 3/4 oz. bag): 17 1/2 oz. - 8 3/4 oz. = 8 3/4 oz.
- Chocolate, button-shaped candy (9.9 oz. bag): 19 4/5 oz. - 9.9 oz. = 9 9/10 oz.
- Cereal, loop (12.25 oz. bag): 24 1/2 oz. - 12.25 oz. = 12 1/4 oz.
- Popcorn (16.5 oz. bag): 33 oz. - 16.5 oz. = 16.5 oz.
- Nuts, mixed (16 1/2 oz. can): 0 oz.
Therefore, the second batch without nuts will have a total of 47 7/20 oz of food.
