I don't know? I think 4 or 5, but its a guess. I don't know how to actually figure it out? I don't know if use a ratio or proportion?

0.3 * 12 = 3.6

Answered by Bosnian
The ratio: 5 : 3 : 2


5 + 3 + 2 = 10


5 / 10 = 0.5 = 50 % peanuts

3 / 10 = 0.3 = 30 % walnuts

2 / 10 = 0.2 = 20 % cashews


0.3 * 12 = 3.6
