Honda can make a maximum of 3 bags of trail mix using the available quantities of almonds, dried banana slices, and dried cranberries.
How to determine how many bags of trail mix Honda can make
To determine how many bags of trail mix Honda can make with the given quantities of almonds, dried banana slices, and dried cranberries, find the limiting factor among the three ingredients.
The limiting factor is the ingredient that has the smallest quantity relative to the required amount per bag.
Let's calculate the maximum number of bags of trail mix Honda can make based on the limiting ingredient:
Almonds:
Required per bag: 20 almonds
Quantity available: 60 almonds
Maximum bags based on almonds: 60 almonds / 20 almonds per bag = 3 bags
Dried banana slices:
Required per bag: 9 dried banana slices
Quantity available: 30 dried banana slices
Maximum bags based on dried banana slices: 30 dried banana slices / 9 slices per bag ≈ 3.33 bags
Dried cranberries:
Required per bag: 13 dried cranberries
Quantity available: 40 dried cranberries
Maximum bags based on dried cranberries: 40 dried cranberries / 13 cranberries per bag ≈ 3.08 bags
The limiting factor is the dried cranberries, as it allows for the fewest number of bags. Therefore, Honda can make a maximum of 3 bags of trail mix using the available quantities of almonds, dried banana slices, and dried cranberries.
Honda is making a trail mix with almonds, dried banano slices, and dried cranberries. Each bag of trail mix contains exactly 20 almonds, 9 dried banona slices, and 13 dried cranberries. 1. How many bags of trail mix can Han make if he has 60 almonds, 30 dried banana slices, and 40 dried cranberries?
