Answer 1

Answer:

45 Kg of the of this mixture contains 9 kg of almond

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The ratio of  almond, wheat and corn = 3:5:7.

To Find:

Amount of this mixture contains 9 kg of almond =?

Solution:

The total of  the fraction = 3+5+7  = 15

Let the total amount of the mixture be X, then

Then

$\frac{ \text{ratio of the almond in the mixture}}{\text{total ratio}} \times X = 9$

$\frac{3}{15} \times X = 9$

$X = 9 \times \frac{15}{3}$

$X = 9 \times 5$

X =  45
