Answer:
Total mixture of trail mix that Katie makes is [tex]1\frac{19}{40}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Katie made a bag of trail mix with [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] cup of raisins, [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] cup of banana chips, and [tex]\frac{3}{8}[/tex] cup of peanuts.
We have to calculate the cup of mixture Katie make for trail mix.
We simply need to add all the quantity of cups she mixes
Total mixture Katie makes = total cups of raisins + total cups of banana chips+ total cups of peanuts.
Total mixture Katie makes = [tex]\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{5}+\frac{3}{8}[/tex]
Simplifying, we get
LCM (2, 5, 8) = 40
Total mixture Katie makes = [tex]\frac{20+24+15}{40}=\frac{59}{40}=1\frac{19}{40}[/tex]
Thus, Total mixture of trail mix that Katie makes is [tex]1\frac{19}{40}[/tex]
