Question

Zoey made 5 1/2 cups of trail mix for camping trip. she wants to divide the trail mix into 3/4 cup servings. Ten people are going on the camping trip . Can Zoey make enough 3/4 cup servings so that each person on the trip has one serving?

Answer 1

Zoey has a total of 5 ½ cups of trail mix for their camping trip and she want to divide it into 3/4
=>5 ½ and ¾ do not have common denominator. Now, let’s find the least common denominator.
=> 5 ½ = 11/2 , we first convert this into improper fraction
=>v5 ½ divided by ¾ , the Least common denominator is 4
=> 22 /4 divided ¾ = 7 ¾
Thus, the total number of trail mix that Zoey can make is 7 and ¾ or 7.75 cups.
The trail mix that Zoey made cannot suffice in 10 people that is coming for the camping.
