Mike is making a nut mixture for an upcoming camping trip. He makes the mixture by combining of a cup of cashews and of a cup of almonds. If he wants to add cashews and almonds in the same ratio to make 28 cups of the mixture, how many cups of cashews and almonds will he need?

28 ÷ 2 = 14. you need 14 cups of each nut to get a total of 28 cups combined
