Nima uses 2/3 cup peanuts, 1/2 cup cashews, 3/4 cup pecans, and some raisins in a recipe that makes 2 1/4 cups of trail mix. How many cups of peanuts are there per cup of trail mix?

Answer 1

Solve this ratio.

(2/3)/(9/4) = x/1
Cross multiply.
(9/4)x = 2/3
x = (2/3) / (9/4)
x = (2/3) * (4/9)
x = 8/27 of a cup
