Question

Cameron is making trail mix. The ratio of peanuts to raisins to walnuts is 3:2:1. If there are 224 raisins, how many total peanuts and walnuts are there?

Answer 1

336 Peanuts

112 Walnuts

Explanation:

So first, you can not change the order of the items in a ratio. So the 224 raisins will be in the middle.

It will look like _ : 224 : _

Next, divide 224 by 2 to get the number of walnuts, the number on the right.

So the number on the right will be 112.

Next, multiply 112 by 3 to get 336.
