A student mixed together three different foods to make trail mix in the picture. Which is most likely true about this food?

• The matter in the trail mix is different from the matter in the three foods used to make it.

• The weight of the trail mix is greater than the weights of the three foods added together.

• You cannot easily reverse the change that formed the trail mix.

• The weight of the trail mix is equal to the weights of the three foods added together.
