Answer: C) 4/15

Explanation: 1/3 *5 = 5/15. 2/5 *5 = 6/15.

5/15 + 6/15 = 11/15

15/15 - 11/15 = 4/15.

Carlos uses 4/15 pounds of cereal in his snack mix.

The amount of cereals used by Carlos is 4/15 pounds.

Amount of nut = 1/3 pound

Amount of raisins = 2/5 pound

What is a fraction?

A positive number, not a whole number called a fraction.

Let us say Carlos use x pound of cereal.

According to the question total quantity = 1 pound

[tex]\frac{1}{3} +\frac{2}{5} +x =1[/tex]

[tex]\frac{11}{15} +x=1[/tex]

[tex]x=1-\frac{11}{15}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{4}{15}[/tex]

So, the amount of cereals = 4/15 pounds.

Hence, the amount of cereals used by Carlos is 4/15 pounds.
