Answer:

4 1/6 cups of almonds left

Step-by-step explanation:

Granola recipe = 2 1/3 cups of almonds

2 1/2 batches of granola = 2 1/3 cups of almonds × 2 1/2

= 2 1/3 × 2 1/2

= 7/3 × 5/2

= (7*5)/(3*2)

= 35/6

= 5 5/6 cups of almonds

A bag of almonds = 2 cups

5 bags of almonds = 10 cups

Cups of almonds left = 10 cups - 35/6 cups

= 60-35/6

= 25/6

= 4 1/6 cups
