Zoey would need 2 more cups.
The measurement of the trail mix servings and quantity made are given as
fractions of a cup.
The correct responses are;
- First part; The 5 1/2 cups made will not be enough when each person on the trip has one serving
- Second part; The serving size required is 11/20 cups/serving.
- Third Part; She needs 2 more cups of trail mix for the serving size of 3/4 cups
Reasons:
The given parameters are;
Amount of trail mix fir Zoey made for the camping trip = 5 1/2 cup
Amount of trail mix per serving = 3/4 cup = 0.75 of a cup
Number of people going on the camping trip = 10 people
First part; Required:
Can the trail mix made go round every person at 3/4 cup per serving
Solution;
At 3/4 cup per serving, we have;
Amount of trail mix required for 10 people = [tex]10 \times \dfrac{3}{4} \ cups = 7\frac{1}{2} \ cups[/tex]
Number of cups made, [tex]5\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups, is not up to the [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups required,
therefore; The [tex]\underline{5\frac{1}{2}}[/tex] cups made will not be enough when each person on the
trip has one serving.
Second part; Required:
The serving size that will ensure everyone can have a serving.
Solution:
[tex]The \ serving \ size = \dfrac{5\frac{1}{2} \ cups}{10 \ serving} = \dfrac{11}{20} \ cups/serving[/tex]
The serving size required is 11/20 cups/serving.
Third part; Required:
The amount more of trail mix that is needed for the 3/4 serving size to be used.
Solution:
To enable the 3/4 cup servings to be used, the amount of more trail mix
Zoey needs is the difference between the amount required for 10 people
at 3/4 cup servings rate and the amount she made.
Extra trail mix needed = [tex]7\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups - [tex]5\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cups = 2 cups
She needs 2 more cups of trail mix for the serving size of 3/4 cups.
