    2.5 trail mix

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This could be solved in two ways to arrive at the same answer. We can decide to take a straight division or to give an arbitrary value for the mass of the cup and solve.

    Now let's say a cup of shredded coconut contains 120g of shredded coconut. The mass she has would be 5/8 * 120 = 75g

    Now, each mix needs 1/4 of the shredded coconut. That means 1/4 * 120 = 30g

    Now the question is how many 30g can she make from 75g. This is 75/30 = 2.5 trail mix
