Question

Darcia made a snack mix using the following recipe.

1 ¼ cups granola, ¾ cup peanuts, ½ cup raisins, ¼ cup chocolate chips. If she used 3 cups of granola and wanted to keep the ingredients proportional, how much would she use of each of the other ingredients. Write your answer as a fraction in simplest form. Use / for the fraction bar.



cup(s) peanuts

cup(s) raisins

cup(s) chocolate chips

Answer 1

1 4/5 = peanuts

1 1/5 = raisins

3/5 = chocolate chips

Explanation:

3 ÷ 1 1/4 = 2 2/5

2 2/5 × 3/4 = 1 4/5

2 2/5 × 1/2 = 1 1/5

2 2/5 × 1/4 = 3/5
