Solution

To solve this problem, we need to add up the total amount of nuts and then divide by the number of bags. Here are the steps:

  1. Add the amount of each type of nut to find the total amount of nuts. 23 ounces (walnuts) + 10.2 ounces (almonds) + 16.3 ounces (cashews) = 49.5 ounces

  2. Divide the total amount of nuts by the number of bags to find the amount per bag. 49.5 ounces ÷ 25 bags = 1.98 ounces per bag

So, each bag of trail mix contains 1.98 ounces.
