1 1/9
To figure out how much walnuts to a pound of dried fruit you’d need to do proportions. So we cross multiply:
2/3 = X
—————- —————-
3/5 = 1
You multiply diagnols 2/3 x 1 = 2/3
3/5 times x is 3/5x.
2/3 = 3/5x. Isolate the variable. Divide 3/5 on both sides cancel out 3/5. 2/3 divide by 3/5 is 2/3 x 5/3 which is 10/9 which equals 1 1/9.
So for 1 lb of dried fruit you need 1 1/9 lb of walnuts to maintain the same mixture
The Answer is -3 it would be easier to use a calculator for that than this
30 times 86 equals 2580 and 4 times 86 equals 344 add those together and you get 2924
You cross multiply
a c
- = -
b d
if ad equals bc, then the fractions are equivalent
