The easiest way to solve a problem like this is to cross multiply and solve 

The problem gives us a ratio 
2 pounds of granola = 3 pounds of raisins 
which makes a ratio of \frac{2}{3}
The other ratio is 
? pounds of granola = 24 pounds of raisins
which makes a ratio of \frac{x}{24}

To solve, set them equal to each other ...
\frac{2}{3} =  \frac{x}{24}

Now we must cross multiply...
To cross multiply, we multiply 2 and 24 
and we multiply 3 and x 
Now we have an equation to solve!
3x = 48 
To solve and get your final answer, divide...
x = \frac{48}{3}

x = 16
You'll need 16 pounds of granola

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a basketball coach will select the members of a five-player team from among 9 players, including John and Peter.

Out of nine players five are chosen at random.

The team consists of John and Peter.

Hence we can sort 9 players as I group, John and Peter and II group 7 players.

Now the selection is 2 from I group and remaining 3 from II group.

Hence no of ways of selecting a team that includes both John and Peter=2C2*7C3=35

Total no of ways = 9C5=126

= \frac{2C2*7C3}{9C5}=\frac{35}{126} =\frac{5}{18}
