Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a mixture of two types of nuts, if the ratio of type A to type B is 2:3, what fraction of the mixture is type A?
  • Step 1: Identify the ratio of type A to type B, which is given as 2:3.
  • Step 2: Add the parts of the ratio together: 2 (for type A) + 3 (for type B) = 5 total parts.
  • Step 3: To find the fraction of the mixture that is type A, take the part for type A (which is 2) and divide it by the total parts (which is 5).
  • Step 4: Write the fraction: Fraction of type A = 2/5.
