    Each biker gets 3 19/32 of the mix.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In the questions, we are told that a trail mix consist

    7 3/4 oz of sunflower seeds,

    9 1/4 oz of raisins

    4 1/4 oz of walnuts

    7 1/2 oz of soybeans

    Step 1

    Add up every element in the trail mix

    We have are given mixed numbers which is made up of whole number and a proper fraction

    7 3/4 oz + 9 1/4 oz + 4 1/4 oz + 7 1/2 oz

    So we add up the whole numbers first

    27 + (3/4 oz + 1/4 oz + 1/4 oz + 1/2 oz)

    Next, We find the lowest common multiple of the denominators of the proper fractions which is 4

    = 27 + ((3*1) + (1*1) + (1*1) + (1*2) / 4)

    27 + (3+1+1+2) / 4

    27 + 7/4

    27 + 1 3/4

    27 + 1 + 3/4

    Total mix = 28 3/4

    Step 2

    If the mix is split equally between eight hikers, how much would each one get?

    We would convert 28 3/4 into an improper fraction and divide it by 8 bikers

    115/4 : 8

    115 / 4 * 1/8

    = 115/32

    Turning it into a mixed fraction, we have:

    3 19/32

    Therefore, each biker gets 3 19/32 of the mix.
