Question

A company sells a mix of peanuts and cashews. For every 3 ounces of peanuts, there are 2 ounces of cashews. A batch has 60 ounces of peanuts. How many ounces of cashews will a batch have?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

3 ounces of peanuts = 2 ounces of cashews

so, 1 ounce of peanut = 2/3 ounce of cashew

so, 60 ounces of peanuts = 2/3×60 = 40 ounces of cashews
