Answer:
cereal : pecans : raisins = 2 : 1.5 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The amount of cereal in snack mix = 4 cups
The amount of pecans in snack mix = 3 cups
The amount of raisins in snack mix = 2 cups
Therefore,
The total amount of snack = 4 cups + 3 cups + 2 cups = 9 cups
Now,
The ratio is given as:
= [tex]\frac{\textup{Amount of a substance in a mix}}{\textup{Total amount of mix}}[/tex]
therefore,
Ratio of cereal in snack mix = [tex]\frac{\textup{4 cups}}{\textup{9 cups}}[/tex]
and,
Ratio of pecans in snack mix = [tex]\frac{\textup{3 cups}}{\textup{9 cups}}[/tex]
Ratio of raisins in snack mix = [tex]\frac{\textup{2 cups}}{\textup{9 cups}}[/tex]
Now,
we have ratio as:
4 : 3 : 2
i.e cereal : pecans : raisins
taking 2 common
we get
2 : 1.5 : 1
therefore,
the maximum amount
