    First add up all your ingredients 2 1/2+2 1/2 + 2 1/4 + 3/4 = 8 cups of snack mix this is how much you get in 1 batch. Now divide the 8 cups by 3/4 (8:3/4) to get 10 1/2. So in 1 batch you get 10 1/2 servings. To get 200 servings you need to make 20 batches with 1/4 left over (200 : 10 1/2). For Part B you multiply each ingredient by 20. Pretzels and Dry Cereal: 2 1/2 x 20 = 50 cups Peanuts:2 1/4 x 20 = 45 cups Raisins: 3/4 x 20 = 15 cups
