8. Nuts to You sells trail mix in 16-ounce packages. Half the weight is peanuts. There are
also 2 oz of almonds, 1 oz of cashews, and 3 oz of raisins. The rest is chocolate chips.
What fraction of the mix is chocolate chips?

Respuesta :

nevaehedmonds

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Half of the 16 oz = 8 oz of peanuts.

2 oz are almonds.

1 oz is cashews.

3 oz are raisins.

So, we know 8+2+1+3 = 14 oz of stuff in detail.

We're told the rest is chocolate chips, which means 16 - 14 = 2 oz.

BUT always read the question.

It does not ask the weight of the chocolate chips. It asks the fraction.

That is

2/16 = 1/8
