Let's assume there are a total of x nuts in the packet.
The proportion of peanuts is 2/3 of the total number of nuts, so the number of peanuts is (2/3)x.
The number of almonds is the total number of nuts minus the number of peanuts, so the number of almonds is x - (2/3)x = (1/3)x.
The ratio of the number of peanuts to the number of almonds is (2/3)x / (1/3)x, which simplifies to 2/1 or simply 2.
The proportion of peanuts is 2/3 of the total number of nuts, so the number of peanuts is (2/3)x.
The number of almonds is the total number of nuts minus the number of peanuts, so the number of almonds is x - (2/3)x = (1/3)x.
The ratio of the number of peanuts to the number of almonds is (2/3)x / (1/3)x, which simplifies to 2/1 or simply 2.
