Question

Ann's Trail Mix Recipe 5 cups oats 3 cups seeds 1 cup nuts 2 cups raisins What is the ratio of seeds to total ingredient​

Answer 1

3/11

Explanation:

To find a ratio of one item to another we divide the quantity of the first item to the second.

We know Ann has 3 cups of seeds, and overall 11 ingredients. So her ratio is 3/11. Or 3 cups of seeds for every 11 ingredients.

Answer 2

3 : 11

Explanation:

Trail Mix Recipe:

• 5 cups oats
• 3 cups seeds
• 1 cup nuts
• 2 cups raisins

Total number of cups of all the ingredients:

⇒ 5 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 11

Therefore, the ratio of seeds to total ingredients is:

• seeds : total = 3 : 11

Note: The ratio cannot be reduced further since both 3 and 11 are prime numbers.
