Question

Kiran mixes 3/4 of raisins, 1 cup peanuts, and 1/2 cups of chocolate chips to make trail mix.How much of each ingredient would he need to make 10 cups of trail mix

Answer 1

7.5 cups of raisins, 10 cups of peanuts and 5 cups of chocolate chips.

Answer 2

7.5 cups of raisins, 10 cups of peanuts and 5 cups of chocolate chips.

Explanation:

We are given that,

The amount of ingredients needed for the trail mix are,

Raisins =
`(3)/(4)` cup

Peanuts = 1 cup

Chocolate chips =
`(1)/(2)` cup

Since, Kiran needs to make 10 cups of the trail mix.

The amount of ingredients needed will be,

Raisins =
`(3)/(4)* 10` =
`(30)/(4)` = 7.5 cups

Peanuts = 1 × 10 = 10 cups

Chocolate chips =
`(1)/(2)* 10` = 5 cups

Hence, the ingredients needed are 7.5 cups of raisins, 10 cups of peanuts and 5 cups of chocolate chips.
