To maintain the same ratio between mixed nuts and raisins, we first need to identify the ratio from the first row. The ratio of mixed nuts to raisins is 4:3. This means for every 4 cups of mixed nuts, there are 3 cups of raisins.

Let's denote the amount of mixed nuts as \( M \) and the amount of raisins as \( R \). We know:

\[ \frac{M}{R} = \frac{4}{3} \]

Now we complete the table for the amounts given, including the total amount of snack mix:

First Row

  • Amount of mixed nuts (cups): 4
  • Amount of raisins (cups): 3
  • Total amount of snack mix (cups): \( 4 + 3 = 7 \)

Second Row

Given \( M = 49 \) (mixed nuts): The ratio tells us

\[ R = \frac{3}{4} \times M = \frac{3}{4} \times 49 = 36.75 \]

  • Amount of mixed nuts (cups): 49
  • Amount of raisins (cups): 36.75
  • Total amount of snack mix (cups): \( 49 + 36.75 = 85.75 \)

Completed Table

| Amount of mixed nuts (cups) | Amount of raisins (cups) | Total amount of snack mix (cups) | |------------------------------|---------------------------|-----------------------------------| | 4 | 3 | 7 | | 49 | 36.75 | 85.75 |

Thus, the final amounts and total in the table reflect the correct ratios and totals for the snack mix.
