Answer:

1 1/2 cups

Explanation:

2/3 cup of almonds = 4 cups of trail mix

4 cups of trail mix = 2/3 cup of almond

4 cups of trail mix = 2/3 cup of almond

1 cup of trail mix = 2/3 ÷ 4 = 1/6 cup of almond

1 cup of trail mix = 1/6 cup of almond

9 cups of trail mix = 1/6 x 9 = 3/2 cup of almond

3/2 cups = 1 1/2 cups
