Answer 2

Alexandra can make $\frac{5}{2}$ batch of trail mix.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alexandra wants to make trail mix.

She has $\frac{5}{8}$ of a cup of shredded coconut.

Each batch of trail mix requires $\frac{1}{4}$ of a cup of shredded coconut.

Quantity of trail mix Alexandra can make

$=\frac{5}{8} \div \frac{1}{4}\\\\=\frac{5}{8} \times \frac{4}{1}\\\\=\frac{5\times 4}{8\times 1}\\\\= \frac{5\times 1}{2\times 1}\\\\=\frac{5}{2}$

Hence, Alexandra can make $\frac{5}{2}$ batch of trail mix.
