Maya makes trail mix by combining 1/2 cup of mixed nuts, 1/4 cup of dried fruit, and 1/8 cup of chocolate morsels. What is the total amount of ingredients in her trail mix? Explain how you solved the problem.

7/8 of ingredients

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of ingredients in Maya's trail mix, we should first come up with a common denominator to convert all the fractions to.

Our LCD here could be 8, because 8 is divisible by 2 and 4, our other denominators.

1/8 stays as 1/8.

1/2 = 4/8

since 1 x 4 = 4 and 2 x 4 = 8

1/4 = 2/8

since 1 x 2 = 2 and 4 x 2 = 8

1/8 + 4/8 + 2/8 gets us 7/8.

(( I assume you are looking for the total amount in fraction form ))

part 1 answer = 8

part 2 answer = 72

step-by-step explanation:

part 1 explanation = add all of the numbers, then divide by how many numbers you have. so, 200/25 = 8.

part 2 explanation = not gonna lie, this is hard to explain, so just google how to do it.
