Answer 1

Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix

Explanation:

Trail mix=quantity of peanuts+quantity of raisins+quantity of walnuts+quantity of chocolate chips

where;

Quantity of peanuts=1.25 pounds

Quantity of raisins=14 oz, since 1 pound=16 oz.

Quantity of raisins=(14/16)=0.875 pounds

Quantity of walnuts=12 oz=(12/16)=0.75 pounds

Quantity of chocolate chips=10 oz=(10/16)=0.625 pounds

Replacing;

Trail mix=(1.25+0.875+0.75+0.625)=3.5 pounds

Trail mix=Quantity per hiker×Number of hikers

where;

Trail mix=3.5 pounds

Quantity per hiker=q

Number of hikers=8

Replacing;

3.5=q×8

q=3.5/8=0.4375 pounds

I pound=16 ounces

q=0.4375×16=7 ounces

Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix
