A group of hikers buy 8 bags of trail mix. Each bag contains 3 1/2 cups of trail mix. The trail mix is shared evenly among 12 hikers. How many cups of trail mix will each hiker receive? Each hiker will receive cups of trail mix.

Each hiker will get 2 1/3 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

8 bags multiplied by 3.5

28 cups overall

The 28 cups is shared between 12 hikers

28/12=2 1/3 cups

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
