Answer:
5 lbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi,
Given that walnut , peanuts and chocolate chips are mixed in a ratio
7 : 2: 5
Let the constant of proportionality be k
So, walnut content= 7k
Peanuts content = 2k
Chocolate content = 5k
Total weight of the mixture = 14k
Weight of walnut content is given as 2.5 lbs
7k = 2.5
k = 2.5/7
k = 5/14
Weight of the mixture = 14k
= 14*5/14
= 5 lbs.
Hence, weight of the mixture is 5 lbs
