Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The weight of each ingredient is given in pounds and ounces.
2. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound.
3. We need to convert all weights to pounds to find the total weight of the granola.

STEP 2

1. Convert ounces to pounds.
2. Sum the weights of all ingredients.
3. Calculate the total weight in pounds.

STEP 3

Convert the weight of walnuts from ounces to pounds.
6 ounces=616 pounds=0.375 pounds6 \text{ ounces} = \frac{6}{16} \text{ pounds} = 0.375 \text{ pounds}

STEP 4

Convert the weight of raisins from ounces to pounds.
5 ounces=516 pounds=0.3125 pounds5 \text{ ounces} = \frac{5}{16} \text{ pounds} = 0.3125 \text{ pounds}

STEP 5

Convert the weight of sunflower seeds from ounces to pounds.
4 ounces=416 pounds=0.25 pounds4 \text{ ounces} = \frac{4}{16} \text{ pounds} = 0.25 \text{ pounds}

STEP 6

Sum the weights of all ingredients in pounds.
1 pound of oat flakes+0.375 pounds of walnuts+0.3125 pounds of raisins+0.25 pounds of sunflower seeds1 \text{ pound of oat flakes} + 0.375 \text{ pounds of walnuts} + 0.3125 \text{ pounds of raisins} + 0.25 \text{ pounds of sunflower seeds}

STEP 7

Calculate the total weight.
1+0.375+0.3125+0.25=1.9375 pounds1 + 0.375 + 0.3125 + 0.25 = 1.9375 \text{ pounds}
The total weight of one batch of granola is:
1.9375 pounds\boxed{1.9375 \text{ pounds}}
