A bag of trail mix has 10 grams of raisins for every 6 grams of sunflower in 400 grams of trail mix how many grams of rasins

To find out how many grams of raisins are in the trail mix, we can set up a proportion using the given ratio of 10 grams of raisins to 6 grams of sunflower.
Let's assign a variable to represent the unknown amount of raisins, say "x."
The proportion will be:
10 grams of raisins / 6 grams of sunflower = x grams of raisins / 400 grams of trail mix
We can cross-multiply and solve for x:
10 grams of raisins * 400 grams of trail mix = 6 grams of sunflower * x grams of raisins
4000 grams of trail mix = 6x grams of raisins
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 6:
x grams of raisins = (4000 grams of trail mix) / 6
Calculating this, we find that there are approximately 666.67 grams of raisins in a 400-gram bag of trail mix.
10/16 = x/400
Cross multiply and solve for x.
