    Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Trail mix=quantity of peanuts+quantity of raisins+quantity of walnuts+quantity of chocolate chips

    where;

    Quantity of peanuts=1.25 pounds

    Quantity of raisins=14 oz, since 1 pound=16 oz.

    Quantity of raisins = (14/16) = 0.875 pounds

    Quantity of walnuts=12 oz = (12/16) = 0.75 pounds

    Quantity of chocolate chips=10 oz = (10/16) = 0.625 pounds

    Replacing;

    Trail mix = (1.25+0.875+0.75+0.625) = 3.5 pounds

    Trail mix=Quantity per hiker*Number of hikers

    where;

    Trail mix=3.5 pounds

    Quantity per hiker=q

    Number of hikers=8

    Replacing;

    3.5=q*8

    q=3.5/8=0.4375 pounds

    I pound=16 ounces

    q=0.4375*16=7 ounces

    Each hiker receives 7 ounces of trail mix
