In this case, the best way to do this is to divide the number f trail mix you want to make, by the amount you know you can make- so 5/1. Giving you 5. Therefore, you have to multiply 2.5 by 5, so you have the right amount of chocolate pieces. The answer is D. 12.5 oz

Since you are multiplying the amount by 5, you need to take 2.5 oz by 5 which = 12.5oz
