Cameron is making trail mix. The ratio of peanuts to raisins to walnuts is 3:2:1. If there are 224 raisins, how many total peanuts and walnuts are there?
This did not help me in this is not true I thought y'all was going to help me but no sorry
let the amount of peanuts, raisins, and walnuts be 3x, 2x, and x respectively
given 2x = 224
x = 112
then you have 112 walnuts, 224 raisins and 336 peanuts.
(are they actually going to count them???)
To find the total number of peanuts and walnuts, we first need to determine the number of peanuts and walnuts for each raisin.
The given ratio is 3:2:1, so let's assume the number of peanuts is 3x, the number of raisins is 2x, and the number of walnuts is x.
We are given that there are 224 raisins, so we can set up the equation:
2x = 224
By dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get:
x = 112
So, the number of peanuts is 3x, which is:
3 * 112 = 336 peanuts
The number of walnuts is x, which is:
112 walnuts
Thus, the total number of peanuts and walnuts is:
336 (peanuts) + 112 (walnuts) = 448.
To find the total number of peanuts and walnuts in Cameron's trail mix, we first need to determine the ratio of peanuts to raisins to walnuts. Given that the ratio of peanuts to raisins to walnuts is 3:2:1, we can create the following equation:
Peanuts : Raisins : Walnuts = 3x : 2x : x
Here, x represents a common factor that we need to determine. Since we know that there are 224 raisins, we can set up the following equation and solve for x:
2x = 224
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get:
x = 112
Now that we know the value of x, we can substitute it back into the original ratio equation to find the quantities of peanuts and walnuts:
Peanuts = 3x = 3 * 112 = 336
Walnuts = x = 112
Therefore, there are 336 peanuts and 112 walnuts in Cameron's trail mix.
