There are some peanuts and almonds in a packet. The proportion of peanuts is 2/3 of the total number of nuts in the packet.

What is the ratio of the number of almond in the packet to the total number of nuts in the packet

1 answer

Let's assume that the total number of nuts in the packet is 9 (a multiple of 3 for convenience).
If the proportion of peanuts is 2/3 of the total number of nuts, then there are (2/3) * 9 = 6 peanuts in the packet.
Therefore, the number of almonds in the packet is 9 - 6 = 3.
The ratio of the number of almonds to the total number of nuts in the packet is 3/9, which can be simplified to 1/3.
