Answer 1

When the student sorts the granola mix into groups and measures the mass of each group (oats, raisins, and nuts), the total mass of these groups should equal the original mass of the granola snack mix. Since the mass of the entire snack mix is 0.522 kg, when the student adds together the mass of each group, she will find:

The total mass of the groups will be 0.522 kg.
