Some students prepare 3 diffrerent snacks. They make 1/8 pound bags of nut mix, 1/4 pound bags of cherries, and 1/6 pound bags of dried fruit. If they buy 3 pounds of nut mix, 5 pounds of cherries, and 4 pounds of dried fruit, how many of each type of snack bag will they be able to make?

They made 24 snack bags of nut mix, 20 snack bags of cherries and 24 snack bags of dried fruit.

Step-by-step explanation:

They make 1/8 pound bags of nut mix. If they buy 3 pounds of nut mix, it means that the number of snack bags of but mix that they made is

3 /(1/8) = 3/0.125 = 24

They make 1/4 pound bags of cherries. If they bought 5 pounds of cherries, it means that the number of snack bags of cherries that they made is

5 /(1/4) = 5/0.25 = 20

They make 1/6 pound bags of dried fruit. If they bought 4 pounds of dried fruit, it means that the number of snack bags of dried fruit that they made is

4 /(1/6) = 24
