Question

A batch of snack mix made of dried fruit and nuts contain 744G of nuts the ratio of nuts to dried fruit by weight is 12 to 13 how much does a batch of snack mix way?

Answer 1

In a bag of snack mix:

n = nuts       d = dried fruit

n = 744g        d = ???g

Ratio Nuts/Dried fruit = 12/13

This basically means that if the mix was divided in 25 parts, 12 parts would be nuts and 13 would be dried fruits

If 744 is 12 parts then 744/12 is 1 part

744/12 = 62

1 part = 62g

there are 13 parts of dried fruit

13 x 62 = 806

744g of nuts + 806g of dreid fruit = 1550g

Answer: A batch of snack mix weigh 1550g, or 1.55kg

hope it helps :)
