A. 1/3

B. 1/2

C. 3/4

D. 4/3

Answer 1

Option C.
`(3)/(4)\ cups\ of\ nuts`

Explanation:

we know that

To find out how many cups of nuts each person will receive, divide the total cups of nuts by the number of people.

so

`3(3)/(4) :5`

but first convert mixed number to an improper fraction

`3(3)/(4)=(3*4+3)/(4)=(15)/(4)`

substitute

`(15)/(4) :5=(15)/(20)\ cups\ of\ nuts`

simplify

`(3)/(4)\ cups\ of\ nuts`
