Answer 1

The 12 portions weigh a total of 12*0.7 = 8.4 lbs

So, the almonds weigh 8.4 - 3.6 = 4.8 lbs

Answer 2

• 4.8 pounds

Explanation:

Let raisins weight be x

Then we get equation

• (3.6 + x)/12 = 0.7

Solving for x

• 3.6 + x = 12*0.7
• x + 3.6 = 8.4
• x = 8.4 - 3.6
• x = 4.8 pounds

Option B is correct one
