For doing such questions , if you're not able to get solution , the easiest approach is to assume the total to be 100 .
Suppose , your trail mix is having 100 things.
1/4 is raisins means 25 raisins and rest (75) are nuts .
Now , 3/5 of nuts (3/5 of 75 = 3/5*75=45) are peanuts and rest (75–45=30) are almonds .
Fraction of trail that is almond = no. of almonds/ total no. of things in your trail mix.
Fraction = 30/100=3/10
QUESTION
1/4 of my trail mix recipe is raisins and the rest is nuts. 3/5 of the nuts are peanuts and the rest are almonds. What fraction of my trail mix is almonds?
ANSWER
First it is given that 1/4 is raisins and rest are nuts ,means that 1–1/4 is nuts i.e 3/4 are nuts.
Next 3/5 of nuts are peanuts means 3/4x3/5=9/25
and rest are almonds ,
means 1–9/25= 16/25.
It gives that 9/25 of the whole trail mix is almonds.
