Answer:

The number of snacks did Jared's guest eat is [tex]12\frac{1}{12}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Jared made [tex]12\frac{3}{4}[/tex] cups of snack mix for a party.

Let x be the cups of snacks mix made by Jared.

Therefore  [tex]x=12\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

His guests eat [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] of the mix.

Let y be the guest eated snacks mix

Therefore [tex]y=\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

To find how many snack mix did his guest eat :

Let z be the number of snacks did Jared's guest eat

Therefore z=x-y

[tex]z=12\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{51}{4}-\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{51(3)-2(4)}{4\times 3}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{153-8}{12}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{145}{12}[/tex]

[tex]=12\frac{1}{12}[/tex]

Therefore [tex]z=12\frac{1}{12}[/tex]

Therefore the number of snacks did Jared's guest eat is [tex]12\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
