ACT SAT PREP Learn how to determine the final weight given a ratio of weights

The video tutorial explains how to solve a problem involving a trail mix with a specific ratio of peanuts, raisins, and sesame seeds. The problem is to determine how many ounces of the entire mixture can be made with 10 ounces of peanuts. The tutorial breaks down the ratio of 2:4:5 for peanuts, raisins, and sesame seeds, and explains how to apply this ratio to find the total weight of the mixture. By understanding the ratio of peanuts to the whole mixture, the tutorial demonstrates the calculation process, resulting in a total mixture weight of 55 ounces.

What is the initial ratio of peanuts, raisins, and sesame seeds in the trail mix?

• 2:3:5

• 2:4:5

• 3:4:5

• 1:2:3

If you have 10 ounces of peanuts, how many ounces of raisins are needed to maintain the ratio?

• 20 ounces

• 15 ounces

• 5 ounces

• 10 ounces

What is the total weight of the mixture if you start with 10 ounces of peanuts?

• 60 ounces

• 40 ounces

• 50 ounces

• 30 ounces

How do you calculate the total weight of the mixture using the given ratio and 10 ounces of peanuts?

• Divide the weight of peanuts by the ratio

• Use cross multiplication with the ratio

• Multiply the weight of peanuts by the total ratio

• Add the weights of all components

What is the ratio of peanuts to the total mixture?

• 2:9

• 2:10

• 2:11

• 2:12
