There are 35 pieces of popcorn in 1 cup of popcorn, and 210 mini M&Ms in 1/4 cup. Using this information, solve the following problem.
Amy made trail mix for her class. Say you were one of her students and you could choose a bag of trail mix with 1 cup popcorn, 4 tablespoons of M&M's and 30 little marshmallows OR 16 tablespoons popcorn, 1/4 cup M&M's and 30 little marshmallows. Which bag has more pieces of food and how much?
Thanks!
Albert
Mmmm... I guess you are trying to teach us 1 cup = 16 tablespoons, right?
ReplyDeleteso the answer is both bags have the exactly the same number of food pieces and the number is
35 + 210 + 30 = 275
