Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

a. 3/8 lb of cashews

Explanation:

The amount that needs to be added is the difference between the amount of mix wanted and the amount of mix provided by the given quantities of nuts.

3/4 lb - (1/8 lb +1/4 lb) = (3/4 -1/4 -1/8) lb = (2/4 -1/8) lb = (4/8 -1/8) lb

= 3/8 lb . . . . amount of cashews needed
