Question

The recipe shows the amounts of three ingredients used to make trail mix.

2 1\3 cups of almonds

1 1\8 cups of sunflower seeds

1 3\4 cups of raisins

How many cups of trail mix will the recipe make?

A. 5 5\24

B. 4 5\15

C. 4 5\25

D. 1 5\24

Answer 1

A. Because you would have to find the common denominator, which in this case is 24. You would change 2 1/3 to 2 8/24, 1 1/8 to 1 3/24 and 1 3/4 to 1 18/24. Add these all up and you get 5 5/24.
