Solve the problems. 1 Miguel is making trail mix. He uses \( 5 \frac{1}{3} \) ounces of nuts and \( 2 \frac{3}{4} \) ounces of raisins. Whic of these is a reasonable estimate for how many more ounces of nuts than raisins Miguel uses?

To solve the problem, let's first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions for easier calculations. For the nuts: \( 5 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{16}{3} \) ounces. For the raisins: \( 2 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{11}{4} \) ounces. Next, to find the difference in ounces of nuts and raisins, we estimate: Using whole numbers, \( 5 \frac{1}{3} \) rounds to about 5.33 (or simply 5) and \( 2 \frac{3}{4} \) rounds to 3. So, we can say that Miguel uses approximately \( 5 - 3 = 2 \) ounces more of nuts than raisins. Thus, a reasonable estimate for how many more ounces of nuts than raisins Miguel uses is about 2 ounces. Let’s keep that trail mix delicious and not get too bogged down by numbers!
