What goes into the bowl . . .

-- granola . . . 9-1/3 pounds
-- nuts . . . . . 9-1/3 pounds
-- raisins. . . . 9-1/3 pounds

How much is in the bowl all together ?

     (9-1/3) + (9-1/3) + (9-1/3) = 27-3/3 = 28 pounds .

After stirring, mixing, shaking, and resting, how much is
still in the bowl ?

       Still 28 pounds.  Nothing else went in, and nothing came out.

After a month, nobody has come into the store yet asking to buy
28 pounds of trail mix. So before it spoils or gets soggy, they decide
to split it up into 14 smaller packages, and see if more people will
buy smaller packages.

They make all of the small packages exactly equal.
How much trail mix is in each one ?

       (28 pounds)  divided by  (14 packages) =  2 pounds/package
