noreen made 8 and 2/3 cups which after solving becomes 8.666
now the guest ate 3/4 which means 3/4 of 8.66 which is 6.50 which means the guest ate 6 1/2 cups

Answer:

\(6\frac{1}{2}\text{ cups}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total snake mix for the party = \(8\frac{2}{3}\) cups = \(\frac{26}{3}\) cups,

Also, the part of total mix eaten by the guest = \(\frac{3}{4}\)

Thus, the total mix eaten by them = part of mix eaten by them × total mix

= \(\frac{3}{4}\times \frac{26}{3}\)

\(=\frac{26}{4}\)

\(=6\frac{2}{4}\)

\(=6\frac{1}{2}\text{ cups}\)
