Answer:

option C

Step-by-step explanation:

In 3/4 pound of a spice mix, there is 5/6 cup of cinnamon

The ration of spice mix over Cinnamon is

[tex]\frac{\frac{3}{4} }{\frac{5}{6} } =\frac{3}{4} \cdot \frac{6}{5} =\frac{9}{10}[/tex]

Let x be the spice mix per pound

make a proportion

[tex]\frac{9}{10} =\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

cross multiply

[tex]9x=10\\x=\frac{10}{9}\\x= 1 \frac{1}{9}[/tex]
