ANSWER:260 grams

Ratio Problem 2- Kylie makes trail mix by mixing nuts and raisins in the ratio 7:3. She has 84g of nuts and 60g of raisins. How much trail mix can she make?

ANSWER: 120 grams

Answer 1

Can someone help please??

Answer 2

if 100g = 5x, x=20, meaning she uses 160g of flakes.

Any more than that, and she'd need more than 100g of fruit.

84g = 7x; x=12
so, she needs 12*3=36g of raisins.
Using any more than 36g means x>12, and she'd need more than 84g of nuts.
