A can of mixed nuts has 5 peanuts for very 2 cashews.There are 175 peanuts in the can.How many cashews are there? There are blank cashews in the can?

Respuesta :

This can be solved using a proportion:

5 peanuts / 2 cashews = 175 peanuts / x

Solve by cross multiplying
5(x) = 2(175) Simplify
5x=350 Divide both sides by 5
5x/5=350/5 Simplify

x = 70 cashews in the can with 175 peanuts
