Dan is making bags of trail mix for hiking club. He will use 23 ounces of walnuts, 10.2 ounces of almonds, and 13.3 ounces of cashews. This amount makes 25 bags of trail mix. How many ounces are in each bag?

There will be 1.86 ounces per bag

Step-by-step explanation:

We can analyze the problem in this manner: We can assume that DAN mixes all his ingredients into a big pile before he shares them into the 25 bags. This way we can find the weight of what is in each of the bags, assuming he shares the trail mix equally among the 25 bags.

When he mixes the ingredients into a big pile, the total weight of the pile will be equals to the weight of all the ingredients summed up.

This will be 23 ounces + 10.2 ounces + 13.3 ounces = 46.5 ounces

He will now be sharing the 46.5 ounces into the 25 available bags.

This will give 46.5 ÷25 = 1.86 ounces per bag.

There will be 1.86 ounces per bag
