X-y is positive when y is further away from 0, compared to x. In other words, when y is a larger negative
For example
x = -2
y = -5
x-y = -2-(-5) = -2+5 = 3
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 :)
