I need a better understanding on how to solve this. I don't need answers I just need the instructions put into an easier understanding. Her are the instructions:
Directions: Write your own recipe for trail mix with a catchy name that will make
people want to eat it. You can also create a slogan, logo, or package design for the
mix. Your recipe must meet the following contest guidelines:
1. It must have at least five different ingredients.
2. The amount of each ingredient should be represented by a different mixed
number.
3. The recipe must make exactly 10 cups of trail mix.
After you write your recipe, complete the following for your contest entry:
• Prove that your recipe makes exactly 10 cups.
• Explain the most efficient method for measuring each ingredient using only
the following two measuring cups:
1
3
cup and
1
4
cup. You can use one or
both of the measuring cups. Note: Depending on the fractions that you chose
for your ingredient amounts, it may not be possible to create each exact
amount using only
1
3
and
1
4
measuring cups. If you need to, you can round
your ingredient amounts using benchmarks and then explain how you would
estimate that amount. For example, if you need
4
7
cup of an ingredient,
4
7
cup is slightly more than
1
2
cup. You could fill up your
1
4
measuring cup twice
to make
1
2
cup of that ingredient, and then add just a tiny bit more to
estimate
4
7
cup.
• Use equations or other models to show how you would measure each
ingredient amount with only the two measuring cup sizes.
Thank you do the ones that helped!

i am on the last step
To write a recipe for trail mix and complete the contest entry, follow these steps:
1. Choose a catchy name for your trail mix and create a slogan, logo, or package design.
2. Make sure that your recipe includes at least five different ingredients.
3. Represent the amount of each ingredient using a different mixed number.
4. Ensure that your recipe makes exactly 10 cups of trail mix.
5. Prove that your recipe makes exactly 10 cups by measuring the volume.
6. Explain the most efficient method for measuring each ingredient using a 1/3 cup and a 1/4 cup.
7. Use equations or models to demonstrate how you would measure each ingredient amount using only the 1/3 cup and 1/4 cup.
Note: If your chosen fractions for ingredient amounts cannot be created using the 1/3 and 1/4 measuring cups, you may need to round the amounts and estimate using benchmarks. For example, if you need 4/7 cup of an ingredient, you can estimate 4/7 cup as slightly more than 1/2 cup. Then, fill the 1/4 cup twice to make 1/2 cup and add a tiny bit more to estimate 4/7 cup.
To solve this problem, you need to follow these steps:
1. Come up with a catchy name and create a slogan, logo, or package design for your trail mix. Be creative and think of something that will make people want to eat it.
2. Your recipe must have at least five different ingredients. Choose any five ingredients you like, such as nuts, dried fruits, pretzels, chocolate chips, or seeds. Get creative and choose a variety of ingredients to make your trail mix delicious.
3. The amount of each ingredient should be represented by a different mixed number. For example, if you need 2 cups of nuts, you can write it as 1 1/2 cups + 1/2 cup. Use mixed numbers to represent the amounts of each ingredient in your trail mix.
4. Make sure that your recipe makes exactly 10 cups of trail mix. Add up the amounts of each ingredient to ensure that the total is 10 cups. If it's not, adjust the amounts until you reach the desired measurement.
5. Prove that your recipe makes exactly 10 cups of trail mix. You can do this by adding up the amounts of each ingredient using addition. For example, if you have 2 cups of nuts, 1 1/2 cups of dried fruits, and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips, you would add 2 + 1 1/2 + 1/2 = 4 cups, which should equal 10 when you add up all the ingredients.
6. Explain the most efficient method for measuring each ingredient using the given measuring cups: 1/3 cup and 1/4 cup. This means you need to figure out how to measure each ingredient using these two measuring cups.
7. Use equations or other models to show how you would measure each ingredient amount with only the two measuring cup sizes. You can write down equations or draw diagrams to show how you would use the 1/3 cup and 1/4 cup to measure each ingredient accurately.
Remember to be creative and have fun with your trail mix recipe!
