It's time to design your own trail mix!

  1. Choose two ingredients that you like to eat. (You can choose from the ingredients in the previous activity, or you can look up nutrition information for other ingredients.)
  2. Think about the constraints for your trail mix. What do you want to be true about its calories, protein, sugar, fat, or fiber?
  3. Write inequalities to represent your constraints. Then, graph the inequalities. Blank coordinate plane with grid for the first quadrant.
  4. Is it possible to make a trail mix that meets all your constraints using your ingredients? If not, make changes to your constraints or your ingredients and record them here.
  5. Write a possible combination of ingredients for your trail mix.
