Answer 1

To find the amount of carbohydrates in 3 ounces of mixed nuts, you want to determine the carbohydrate content per ounce and then multiply it by 3 ounces.

If 5 cups of mixed nuts contain 5.25 grams of carbohydrates, you first need to find out how many ounces are in 5 cups. Since there are 8 ounces in a cup, you have:

5 cups × 8 ounces/cup = 40 ounces

Now, to find the amount of carbohydrates per ounce, you would divide the total carbohydrates (5.25 grams) by the total ounces (40 ounces):

5.25 grams ÷ 40 ounces = 0.13125 grams of carbohydrates per ounce.

Finally, multiply the amount per ounce by 3 to find the carbohydrate content in 3 ounces:

0.13125 grams/ounce × 3 ounces = approximately 0.39375 grams.

However, for the selections you have given, the best method to start the calculation of carbohydrates in 3 ounces of mixed nuts would be to divide 5.25 by 40 (the total ounces in 5 cups), and then multiply that result by 3. Since that option is not listed, you do what you can based on the options available.

Thus, the closest correct response based on the provided options would be to divide 5.25 by 5 first (assuming some element of your question was truncated in terms of ounces or could pertain to a misread) but remember how you're supposed to properly calculate.

If given the proper overview of ounces, please adhere to the actual counts required.

In conclusion, although ideally, it should be accurate work based on all figures correctly cited (oz to grams); just check these options closely or alternatively, choose the method of dividing based on the numbers given in your data and you should be safely evaluated.
