5. A recipe for trail mix uses 7 ounces of almonds with 5 ounces of raisins. (Almonds
and raisins are the only ingredients.) How many ounces of almonds would be in a
one-pound bag of this trail mix? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answer 1

In a one-pound bag of trail mix, there would be 22.4 ounces of almonds.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a recipe for trail mix that uses 7 ounces of almonds with 5 ounces of raisins, we can find out how many ounces of almonds would be in a one-pound bag of this trail mix. One pound is equal to 16 ounces. So, we can set up a proportion to solve this problem:

7 ounces of almonds / 5 ounces of raisins = x ounces of almonds / 16 ounces

Using cross-multiplication, we can find that x ounces of almonds would be equal to (7/5) * 16 = 22.4 ounces. Therefore, there would be 22.4 ounces of almonds in a one-pound bag of this trail mix.
