Answer:
We conclude that 0.3 pounds of trail mix are in each bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Vance combined 2 \frac{13}{15} pounds of peanuts with 1 \frac{1}{3} pound of raisins to create trail mix, then equally distributed the mix into 14 bags. We have:
[tex]2+\frac{13}{15}+1+\frac{1}{3}=3+\frac{18}{15}\\\\=4+\frac{3}{15}=\frac{63}{15}[/tex]
we get
[tex]\frac{\frac{63}{15}}{\frac{14}{1}}=\frac{63\cdot 1}{15\cdot 14 }=0.3[/tex]
We conclude that 0.3 pounds of trail mix are in each bag.
