3 part golden raisin2 parts cashewhow many parts of golden raisins does jose need to make 30 total cups pf trail mix?a. 14 partsb. 18 partsc. 20 partsd. 25 parts

Answer 1

To get 1 cup of pf trail mix, we need to mix 2 parts of cashew and 3 part of golden raisin. This means that to make one cup of pf trail mis, we are using 5 parts in total (2 cashew+3 golden raisin). Then, this means that out of one cup the exactly amount of golden raisin is 3/5 of the cups we have. So, having this fraction in mind, we only need to multiply the total number of cups to calculate the parts we are using. In this case, we have 30 cups. So if we want to calculate the parts of golde raisin we multiply 30 by the previous fraction. That is

`30\cdot\text{ }(3)/(5)\text{ = 6 }\cdot\text{ 3 = 18}`

So to make 30 cups of pf trail mix, jose needs 18 parts.
