Mrs. Roberts has a favorite recipe for 1 batch of snack mix.
The recipe is :
2 1/2 cups pretzels
2 1/2 cups dry cereal
2 1/4 peanuts
3/4 cup raisins

Part A : She estimates that each serving is 3/4 cups snack mix. How many batches of snack mix will she need in order to make 200 servings? Show and explain all of your steps.

Part B :
How much of each ingredient will Mrs. Roberts need to make 200 servings? Show and explain all of your steps.

Respuesta :

First add up all your ingredients 2 1/2+2 1/2+ 2 1/4+ 3/4= 8 cups of snack mix this is how much you get in 1 batch. Now divide the 8 cups by 3/4 (8÷3/4) to get 10 1/2. So in 1 batch you get 10 1/2 servings. To get 200 servings you need to make 20 batches with 1/4 left over(200÷10 1/2). For Part B you multiply each ingredient by 20. Pretzels and Dry Cereal: 2 1/2 x 20= 50 cups  Peanuts:2 1/4 x 20= 45 cups  Raisins: 3/4 x 20 = 15 cups
