Answer 1

To determine the number of cups of granola needed, we need to first find the ratio of nuts to granola in the trail mix recipe. The recipe calls for 1 cup of nuts for every 2 cups of granola, so the ratio is 1:2.

We can represent this ratio using a tape diagram. Draw a rectangle to represent the total quantity of trail mix, which is 12 cups. Divide the rectangle into two sections, one for nuts and one for granola.

For every 1 cup of nuts, we need 2 cups of granola. So, divide the section for granola into smaller sections, each representing 2 cups of granola. Since we need 12 cups of trail mix, we will need 6 sections of granola.

Counting the number of sections representing granola, we can see that we will need 6 cups of granola for 12 cups of trail mix.

Therefore, you will need 6 cups of granola.

Answer 2

No it is wrong

Answer 3

I apologize for the error. Let's reevaluate the problem.

The recipe calls for 1 cup of nuts for every 2 cups of granola. We are trying to make 12 cups of trail mix.

To determine the number of cups of granola needed, we can set up a proportion:

1 cup of nuts / 2 cups of granola = 4 cups of nuts / X cups of granola

Cross-multiplying, we get:

1 * X = 4 * 2
X = 8

Therefore, you will need 8 cups of granola to make 12 cups of trail mix.
