For starters I am not 100% sure of if this is correct I may not understand the quest so bare with me

Answer:

Cherry Trail Mix

Explanation:

4 oz of nuts for every 3 oz of dried cherries

5 oz of nuts for every 2 oz of sunflower seeds

- Multpy the amount of nuts in each bag to 20 - Cherry Trail Mix: 4*5=20

Sunflower Trail Mix: 5*4=20

- Now multiply the amount of dried cherries and sunflower seeds by the number used to get to 20

Cherry Trail Mix: 3*5= 15 Sunflower Trail Mix: 2*4=8

- Now add up the amount of oz in each

Cherry: 20+15=35

Sunflower: 20+8=28

35oz > 28oz
