Milton makes trail mix for his hiking group. he mixes 1 1/4 pound of peanuts, 14 oz of raisins, 12 oz of walnuts, and 10 oz of chocolate chips. if milton divides the trail mix equally among the 8 hikers in the group, how many ounces of trail mix does each hiker receive? show your work.

Each hiker will get 7 oz of mix.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trail is mixed with peanuts = pounds

Since 1 pound = 16 oz

pounds peanuts = = 20 oz

Raisins = 14 oz

Walnuts = 12 oz

Chocolate chips = 10 oz

Total amount of trial mix = 20 + 14 + 12 + 10 = 56 oz

Now Milton divides this mix among 8 hikers so amount of mix each hiker received =

= 7 oz

Therefore, each hiker will get 7 oz of mix.
