Question

To make cherry trail mix, Sebastián needs 4 oz of nuts for every 3 oz of dried cherries. To make sunflower trail mix, he needs 5 oz of nuts for every 2 oz of sunflower seeds. Can Sebastian make more cherry trail mix or sunflower trail mix with 20 oz of nuts? Show your work.

Answer 1

Cherry Trail Mix

Explanation:

cherry trail mix ratio = 4:3

sunflower trail mix ration = 5:2

4 goes into 20 5 times so multiply 3 by 5 to get 15. Add them together to make 35 oz

5 goes into 20 4 times so multiply w by 4 to get 8. Add them together to make 28 oz

35 > 28
