Answer:
Option 3 - \(1\frac{1}{9}\)
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 \(\frac{3}{4}\) pounds of a spice mix have \(\frac{5}{6}\) cup of cinnamon.
So, In In 1 pounds of a spice mix have \(\frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{3}{4}}\) cup of cinnamon.
Now, we solve the fraction
\(=\frac{\frac{5}{6}}{\frac{3}{4}}\)
\(=\frac{5\times 4}{6\times 3}\)
\(=\frac{10}{9}\)
\(=1\frac{1}{9}\)
Therefore, Option 3 is correct.
Cinnamon does the spice mix contain per pound is \(=1\frac{1}{9}\) cup.
