Answer:
Option 3 - [tex]1\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : In 3/4 pound of a spice mix, there is 5/6 cup of cinnamon.
To find : How much cinnamon does the spice mix contain per pound?
Solution :
In [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] pounds of a spice mix have [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] cup of cinnamon.
So, In In 1 pounds of a spice mix have [tex]\frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{3}{4}}[/tex] cup of cinnamon.
Now, we solve the fraction
[tex]=\frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{3}{4}}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{5\times 4}{6\times 3}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{10}{9}[/tex]
[tex]=1\frac{1}{9}[/tex]
Therefore, Option 3 is correct.
Cinnamon does the spice mix contain per pound is [tex]=1\frac{1}{9}[/tex] cup.
