To make cherry trail mix, Sebastián needs 4 oz of nuts for every 3 oz of dried
cherries. To make sunflower trail mix, he needs 5 oz of nuts for every 2 oz of
sunflower seeds. Can Sebastián make more cherry trail mix or sunflower trail mix
with 20 oz of nuts? Show your work.

Respuesta :

The number of servings that can be obtained from the 20 oz of nuts is given by the number of 4s and 5s in 20.

  • Sebastian can make more cherry trail mix

Reasons:

The given recipe are;

1 cherry trail mix = 4 oz. of nuts + 3 oz. of dried cherries.

1 sunflower trail mix = 5 oz. of nuts + 2 oz. of sunflower seeds

The number of cherry trail mix Sebastian can make with 20 oz. of nuts is therefore;

[tex]\displaystyle Number \ of \ cherry \ trail \ mix = \mathbf{ \frac{20 \ oz \ of \, nuts}{4 \ oz \, of \, nuts \, per \, cherry \ trail \, mix }} = 5 \ cherry \ trail \ mix[/tex]

The number of cherry trail mix that can be made with 20 oz. of nuts = 5 cherry trail mixes

[tex]\displaystyle Number \ of \ sunflower \ trail \ mix =\mathbf{ \frac{20 \ oz \ of \, nuts}{5 \ oz \, of \, nuts \, per \, sunflower\ trail \, mix }}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{20 \ oz \ of \, nuts}{5 \ oz \, of \, nuts \, per \, sunflower\ trail \, mix } = \mathbf{4 \ sunflower \ trail \ mix}[/tex]

The number of sunflower trail mix that can be made with 20 oz. of nuts = 4 sunflower trail mix

Therefore;

Sebastian can make more cherry trail mix than sunflower trail mix with 20 oz. of nuts.
