Chris mixes 4cups of cereal 3cups of pecans 2 cuos of raisins how can you use ratios to compare quantities of each ingredient and the total amount of snack mix

cereal : pecans : raisins = 2 : 1.5 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The amount of cereal in snack mix = 4 cups

The amount of pecans in snack mix = 3 cups

The amount of raisins in snack mix = 2 cups

Therefore,

The total amount of snack = 4 cups + 3 cups + 2 cups = 9 cups

The ratio is given as:

=

therefore,

Ratio of cereal in snack mix =

and,

Ratio of pecans in snack mix =

Ratio of raisins in snack mix =

Now,

we have ratio as:

4 : 3 : 2
