Answer 1

To find the amount of raisins in the trail mix, we start with the weight of the trail mix, which is 7-eighths pound.

Raisins make up 1-tenth of the trail mix.

To calculate the weight of the raisins:
1. Convert the weight of the trail mix into a fraction:
\[
\text{Weight of trail mix} = \frac{7}{8} \text{ pounds}
\]

2. Calculate 1-tenth of the trail mix weight:
\[
\text{Weight of raisins} = \frac{1}{10} \times \frac{7}{8}
\]

3. Multiply the fractions:
\[
\frac{1 \times 7}{10 \times 8} = \frac{7}{80} \text{ pounds}
\]

Now, we place the result into the response area. The number of whole pounds is 0, and the fraction needs to be converted:

The result \(\frac{7}{80}\) is less than 1, so it will look like this in the response area:
- Blank space 1: 0 (for the whole number)
- Blank space 2: 7 (the numerator of the fraction)
- Blank space 3: 80 (the denominator of the fraction)

So the filled response area would be:

Blank space 1: **0**

Blank space 2: **7**

Blank space 3: **80**
