Betty's Snack Mix

2 and 2/5 = $3.60

Ingredients:

- 1 1/5 cups of spicy shreddies

- 4/5 cups of peanuts

- 2/5 cups of pretzels

12 cups of Betty's Snack Mix

- 6 cups of spicy shreddies is 1/2 of the mixture (12 divided by 2 is equals to 6 cups of spicy shreddies)

- 4 cups of peanuts is 1/3 of the mixture (12 divided by 3 is equals to 4 cups of peanuts)

- 2 cups of pretzels is 1/6 of the mixture (12 divided by 2 is equals to 2 cups of pretzels)

How much it cost?

12 cups = 12/1 then I change it by 5 by multiplying it by 5 and it equals 60/5. I multiply 30 by 60 and the answer is 1800 and it's the same as $ 18.00

1/2 cup of Betty's Snack Mix

- 12 is the same is 3/6 = 6/12

- 1/4 cup of spicy shreddies is 3/12 of the mixture

- 1/6 cup of peanuts is 2/12 of the mixture

- 1/12 cup pretzels

How much it cost?

I multiply 5 and 15 and I got 75. 1/2 cup of Betty's Snack Mix cost $0.75
