Answer:
300g
Step-by-step explanation:
According to given condition,
Flour : Sugar : Raisins
Must be equal to 3 : 1.5 : 1
Now,
Let flour, sugar, raisins be 3x, 1.5x, x grams respectively.
Total Mass = 550g
3x + 1.5x + x = 550g
5.5x = 550
x = 100g
Flour = 3x = 3 × 100 = 300g
Hence, flour in mixture is 300g

Answer:
300g
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 1.5x + 3x = 550
5.5x = 550
x = 550/ 5.5 = 5,500/55 = 100
Flour = 2 * 1.5x = 2* 150 ( Sugar = 1.5x = 150) = 300
Therefore , the weight of flour is 300g.
