Question

A recipe for trail mix calls for 3/4 cup dried fruits, 1/2 cup mixed nuts, and 1/3 cup granola. How many cups of trail mix does this recipe make?

Answer 1

Total cups of dried fruits used in the recipe = $\frac{3}{4}$

Total cups of mixed nuts used in the recipe = $\frac{1}{2}$

Total cups of granola used in the recipe = $\frac{1}{3}$

We have to determine the total cups of recipe of trail mix.

Total cups of recipe =  $\frac{3}{4}$ +  $\frac{1}{2}$ +  $\frac{1}{3}$

LCM of 4,2 and 3 is 12

= $\frac{9+6+4}{12}$

= $\frac{19}{12}$

= $1 \frac{7}{12}$

So,  $1 \frac{7}{12}$ cups of recipe of trail mix is made.

Answer 2

Answer:

19/12 is the correct answer
