Question

| 6. A small batch of trail mix contains 2 cups of raisins, 2 cups of peanuts, 1 cup of sunflower seeds, and 1 cup of chocolate coated candies. A large batch has the same ratio of ingredients as a small batch. If the large batch has 8 cups of peanuts, how many cups of sunflower seeds are in a large Batch?

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

If it has the same ratio of ingredients, the ratio between peanuts will be equal to ratio between sunflower seeds.

1- Ratio between peanuts

peanuts in large batch / peanuts in small batch

8/2 = 4

2- Ratio between sunflower seeds

Sunflower seeds in large batch / sunflower seeds in small batch

(sunflower seeds in large batch)/1 =4

Therefore, sunflower seeds in large batch =4
