You are measuring walnuts for banana-walnut oatmeal and a spinach and walnut salad. You need 3/4 cup of walnuts for the oatmeal and 7/8 cup of walnuts for the salad. You have a 1/8 -cup scoop. Complete the descriptions of two different ways to find how many scoops of walnuts you will need. Enter all non-whole number answers as mixed numbers in simplest form.

13 scoops

Step-by-step explanation:

Description 1

Step 1

3/4 cup of walnuts for the oatmeal

7/8 cup of walnuts for the salad

Total cups of walnuts needed for both salad and oatmeal =

3/4 cups + 7/8 cups

(3/4 + 7/8)

(6 + 7/8)

= 13/8 cups of walnuts

= 1 5/8 cups of walnuts

Step 2

You have a 1/8 -cup scoop

The number of cup scoops of walnuts need is calculated as

1 5/8 cups ÷ 1/8 cup scoop

= 13/8 ÷ 1/8

= 13/8 × 8/1

= 13 scoops

Therefore, 13 scoops of walnuts is needed.

Description 2

3/4 cup of walnuts for the oatmeal

7/8 cup of walnuts for the salad

1/8 cup scoop

Therefore,

(3/4 + 7/8) ÷ 1/8

=(13/8) ÷ 1/8

= 13 scoops of walnuts are needed
