One recipe for cereal bars uses 5 cups of cereal and 2 1/2 cups of nuts. A different recipe uses 3 cups of cereal and 1 cup of nuts. Which recipe is more nutty? Please show work.

Answer 1

Answer: the 5 cups of cereal and 2 1/2 cups of nuts.

Step-by-step explanation: this is the answer because 2 1/2 is larger than 1 cup of nuts.

Answer 2

the 5 cups of cereal and 2 1/2 cups of nite would be more nutty bc there is more nuts per cup.

for example:


5:2 1/2
1 cup cereal to 1/2 cup nuts

3:1
1 cup of cereal to 1/3 cup nuts


hope this helps:)
