1. Amanda uses the recipe shown to make

trail mix for a camping trip. How many cups of

M&M's will she need to make 180 cups of

trail mix? *

Amanda's Tail Mix Recipe

7 parts mixed nuts

2 parts M&M's

40 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

7 part nuts and 2 parts M&M makes up 1 trail mix

7 and 2 part = 9 parts in total

There are 180 cups in total, so each part would be:

180/9 = 20 cups = 1 part

Now, we know there are 2 parts M&Ms and there are 20 cups in a part, so:

M&Ms required = 2 * 20 = 40 cups
