Isabella has 2 1/4 cups of granola and adds 1 1/2 cups of raisins. She then add 1 1/4 cups of almonds to the mix. She divides the mix into 1/4-cup servings. How many 1/4-cup servings does she have?

To determine the number of 1/4-cup servings, we need to add up the total amount of the ingredients and then divide by 1/4.
Isabella has:
- 2 1/4 cups of granola
- 1 1/2 cups of raisins
- 1 1/4 cups of almonds
To add these fractions and mixed numbers, we can convert them all to improper fractions:
- 2 1/4 = 9/4
- 1 1/2 = 3/2
- 1 1/4 = 5/4
Now, add the fractions together:
9/4 + 3/2 + 5/4
To add the fractions, we need to make sure they have a common denominator. The common denominator for 4 and 2 is 4. So, we can rewrite the fractions as:
9/4 + (3/2 * 2/2) + 5/4
= 9/4 + 6/4 + 5/4
= 20/4
Now, divide 20/4 by 1/4 to find the number of 1/4-cup servings.
20/4 รท 1/4 = 20/4 * 4/1
= 20
Therefore, Isabella has 20 1/4-cup servings.
The answer is D. 20.
