Answer:
[TeX]2\frac{1}{3}[/TeX]
Step-by-step explanation:
There are [TeX]3\frac{1}{2}[/TeX] cups of mixed but in each bag.
Since the hikers buys 8 bags, total number of cups in the bags will be:
8 X [TeX]3\frac{1}{2}[/TeX]
=8 X [TeX]\frac{7}{2}[/TeX]
=4 X 7
Total number of cups bought =28 Cups
Since the mixed nut is share equally among 12 hikers, each hiker's share will be :
Total available Cups ÷ Number of Hikers= (28 ÷ 12) cups.
28÷ 12= [TeX]2\frac{1}{3}[/TeX]
Each hiker will get [TeX]2\frac{1}{3}[/TeX] cups of mixed nuts.
