Respuesta :

Answer:

1.94 ounces are in each bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total ounces of nuts in the bag is calculated as:

23 ounces of walnuts + 11.2 ounces of almonds + 14.3 ounces of cashews = 48.5 ounces.

From the question we are told that these amounts make 25 bags.

The number of ounces that are in each bag is calculated as:

25 bags = 48.5 ounces

1 bag = x ounces

Cross Multiply

25 bags × x ounces = 1 bag × 48.5 ounces

x ounces = 1 bag × 48.5 ounces/25 bags

x ounces = 1.94 ounces

Therefore, there are 1.94 ounces in each bag
