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
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.
