Answer:

0.82 pounds of nuts in each bag

Explanation:

Ken has 3 types of nuts namely walnuts, cashews and peanuts. We can determine the total pounds of nuts that Ken has:

Total pounds of nuts = pounds of walnuts + pounds of cashews + pounds of peanuts

= 4.66+2.1+8 = 14.76 pounds of nuts

Ken has 18 bags and he wants to divide all the nuts equally in the bags.

Therefore:

The pounds of nuts in each bag is = total pounds of nuts/number of bag

= 14.76/18 = 0.82 pounds of nuts per bag

Because he divides the nuts equally we assume that each bag has equal amount of walnuts, cashews and peanuts.
