Maya makes trail mix by combining 1/3 cup of mixed nuts,1/4 cup of dried fruit, and 1/6 cup of chocolate morsels. What is the total amount of ingredients in her trail mix?

3/4 cups is the total amount of ingredients in her trail mix.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3 + 1/4 + 1/6 = total

Convert all fractions to have a common denominator:

Between all three denominators (3, 4, and 6), the least common factor is 12.

1/3 × 4/4 = 4/12

1/4 × 3/3 = 3/12

1/6 × 2/2 = 2/12

Substitute these numbers into the equation:

4/12 + 3/12 + 2/12 = 9/12

Simplify:

9/12 ÷ 3/3 = 3/4

0.16 or 16%

step-by-step explanation:

lets take a coin for example.

if you toss it twice, it has a 1/4 chance of landing on heads both times because 1/2 * 1/2 is 1/4.

with the cards, the chance of picking dog is 0.4. having two people pick one is like picking a card twice in a row. so 0.4 * 0.4 is 0.16, or 16%
