Final answer:
To determine how much active mix should be added to the trail mix containing 30 dried fruit, we need to know the total quantity of the trail mix and the proportion of the mix that is comprised of dried fruit. Once we have that information, we can calculate the amount of active mix to add.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how much active mix should be added to the trail mix, we need to know the total quantity of the trail mix and the proportion of the mix that is comprised of dried fruit. Let's assume the total quantity of the trail mix is X cups and the proportion of dried fruit is P (where P is a decimal). We are given that the trail mix contains 30 dried fruit. We can set up the following equation:
P * X = 30 cups
To find the value of P, we need to know the total quantity X of the trail mix. Please provide that value so we can proceed with finding the amount of active mix that should be added.
Once we have the value of P, we can calculate the amount of active mix by subtracting the volume of dried fruit from the total quantity of the trail mix:
Active mix = X - 30 cups
