Question

Chad is making trail mix for his next hiking club meeting. He mixes 2 pounds of peanuts, 2 pounds of raisins, and 1 pound of chocolate chips. His little sister asks him for a snack, so he gives her 5 ounces of the trail mix. Then, he portions out the rest for his meeting. If Chad splits the remaining trail mix evenly among 25 snack bags, how many ounces of trail mix will each bag have?

Answer 1

3 ounces

Explanation:

1 pound = 16 ounces

2(16) + 2(16) = 16 = 80 ounces of train mix - 5 from sister = 75 remaining

75 ounces of trail mix / 25 snack bags = 3 ounces of mix in each bag
