Answer:

hello your question has some missing parts attached below is the missing information

answer : Scott will make 5 snack mix without going over

Explanation:

Given that:

Scott makes a snack mix with ; 2 cups of Almonds and 3 cups of raisins

= 5cups per snacks mix

Ariel makes a snack mix with : 3 cups of almonds and 5 cups of sunflower seeds = 8 cups per snack mix

Now back to your question above

Given that : No more than 25 full cups is required to make a snack mix

For Scott

= 25 / 5 = 5 snack mix ( No make overs )

For Ariel

= 25 / 8 = 3.125 snack mix ( there is a makeover of 0.125 )

Hence it can be said that Scott will make the most mix without going over

Scott and Ariel want to make as much as snack mix as possible, but no more than 25 cups-example-1
