Erin has 3 pounds of trail mix. She wants to make LaTeX: \frac{1}{12}1 12-pound bags of the mix for snacks. How many full bags can she make? Group of answer choices

Respuesta :

Answer:

36 full bags

Explanation:

total amount of trail mix = 3 pounds

If she wants to make 1/12 pounds of the mix for snacks, then the total number of bags she can make will be expressed as the ratio of 1/12 pounds of mix for snacks to the total trail mix as shown;

Number of full bags = 3 : (1/12)

Number of full bags = 3 ÷ 1/12

Number of full bags = 3 * 12/1

Number of full bags = 36 full bags

Hence she can make 26 full bags
