Crystal made a bag of trail mix peanuts, raisins, and chocloate chips in the ratio of peanuts:raisins:chocolate chips = 5:3:2. There are 150 raisins in the trail mix. How many peanuts and chocolate chips are in the trail mix?

it would be 250:150:100

Neko,

Can you please show me how you got the answer?

yeah sure well since the raises went up by 50 you would multiply by 50.

50*5=250
50*3=150
50*2=100
so the ratio is 250:150:100.

Thank you so much Neko!!

your very welcome Mike

To solve this problem, we need to find the total number of parts in the ratio. In this case, the total number of parts is 5 + 3 + 2 = 10.

We are given that there are 150 raisins in the trail mix, which represents 3 parts of the ratio. To find the value of one part, we divide 150 by 3: 150 / 3 = 50.

Now we can find the number of peanuts by multiplying the value of one part by the number of parts represented by peanuts. Since peanuts represent 5 parts, the number of peanuts is 5 x 50 = 250.

Similarly, we can find the number of chocolate chips by multiplying the value of one part by the number of parts represented by chocolate chips. Since chocolate chips represent 2 parts, the number of chocolate chips is 2 x 50 = 100.

Therefore, there are 250 peanuts and 100 chocolate chips in the trail mix.
