Answer 1

Answer:

1350g of nut mixture

Step-by-step explanation:

5:3:1 = 5x + 3x + x

5x = 750

x = 150

5x + 3x + x

= 5(150) + 3(150) + (150)

=750 + 450 + 150

=1350g

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

Answer:

2250 g of nut mixture

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to use the ratio, we have to divide that 750 g by 3.

So 250 g multiplied by 5 is 1250. That's the amount of peanuts. Then just 1 for the cashews.

So, adding all of that up, the answer is 2250 g of nut mixture.
