Question

The ratio of raisins to al monds.

is 2:10.
What is the percent of the raisins in this
mix of raisins and almonds?

Answer 1

Answer:16.67%.

Explanation:

The ratio of raisins to almonds is 2:10, which can be simplified to 1:5.

This means that for every 6 parts of the mix, 1 part is raisins.

To find the percentage of raisins in the mix, we need to divide the amount of raisins by the total amount of mix, and then multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage.

So if we let x be the total amount of mix (in any unit of measurement), then the amount of raisins is (1/6)x.

The percentage of raisins in the mix is:

[(1/6)x / x] x 100% = 16.67%

Therefore, the percent of the raisins in the mix is 16.67%.
