To find the amount of carbohydrates in 3 ounces of mixed nuts, you should first determine the amount of carbohydrates per ounce of mixed nuts. If the total carbohydrates for the entire 5 cups of trail mix is 5.25 grams, you need to find out how many ounces are in 5 cups.

Once you know how many ounces are in 5 cups, you can calculate the carbohydrates per ounce and then multiply that by 3 to get the carbohydrates in 3 ounces.

Since the question doesn't specify the number of ounces in 5 cups, let's assume there are 40 ounces in 5 cups (as there are 8 ounces in 1 cup).

  1. Find carbohydrates per ounce:

    • If 5 cups equals 40 ounces, you can divide 5.25 grams of carbohydrates by 40 ounces to find carbohydrates per ounce.

  2. Calculate carbohydrates in 3 ounces:

    • Multiply the result by 3 to find the total carbohydrates in 3 ounces.

However, since the available responses only allow you to choose from methods, the best choice that approximates calculating the carbohydrates directly based on the information given would be:

Divide 5.25 by the total ounces in 5 cups to find carbohydrates per ounce, then multiply by 3.

But since this specific option is not provided, the most relevant choice is:

Divide 5.25 by 5 - assuming a mistake in the ounces referenced (5 could be the number of servings).

However, for practical calculation, the specific ounces in the 5 cups should be taken into account.
