Respuesta :

Answer:

Option C. [tex]\frac{3}{4}\ cups\ of\ nuts[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how many cups of nuts each person will receive, divide the total cups of nuts by the number of people.

so

[tex]3\frac{3}{4} :5[/tex]

but first convert mixed number to an improper fraction

[tex]3\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3*4+3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}[/tex]

substitute

[tex]\frac{15}{4} :5=\frac{15}{20}\ cups\ of\ nuts[/tex]

simplify

[tex]\frac{3}{4}\ cups\ of\ nuts[/tex]
