Zoey made 9 1/2 cups of trail mix for a camping trip. She wants to divide the trail mix into 3/4-cup servings. Thirteen people are going on the camping trip. Can Zoey make enough 3/4-cup servings so that each person on the trip has one serving?

Zoey cannot make enough 3/4-cup servings so that each person on the trip has one serving.

Step-by-step explanation:

Zoey made 9 1/2 cups of trail mix for a camping trip.

She wants to divide the trail mix into 3/4-cup servings.

Thirteen people are going on the camping trip.

This means :

1 person = 3/4 cup servings

13 people = x

Cross Multiply

13× 3/4

= 39/4

= 9 3/4 cup

So for Zoey to be able to serve 13 people the trail mix in 3/4 cup servings, she need 9 3/4 cups of the trail mix

From the she made 9 1/2 cups of the trail mix.

Hence, Zoey cannot make enough 3/4-cup servings so that each person on the trip has one serving.
