Question

Shonice is making snack bags. She puts 3/4 cups of pretzels 2/3 cups of popcorn 1/3 cups of peanuts 1/4 cups of chocolate chip in each bag. Wants to make 12 snack bags. How much of each ingredient does she need?

Answer 1

9 cups of pretzels, 12 cups of popcorn, 4 cups of peanuts, 3 cups of chocolate chips

Explanation:

When multiplying fractions, you multiply straight across. When you multiply, you also have to turn 12 into a fraction by putting it over 1. Multiply 3/4 by 12 to get 9. Multiply 2/3 by 12 to get 12. Multiply 1/3 by 12 to get 4. Multiply 1/4 by 12 to get 3.
