REN fine six peanuts, four raisins, 3 cranberries, and 5 chocolate chips in a handful of trail mix. For every 9 pieces in Ren's handful of trail mix there are 2

2 raisins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent total number of required ingredient.

We have been given that Ren finds 6 peanuts, 4 raisins, 3 cranberries, and 5 chocolate chips in a handful of trail mix. We are asked to find of which ingredient Ren will have 2 pieces for a total of 9 pieces.

First of all, we will find total number of ingredients by adding each ingredient as:

Now, we will use ratio to solve for our given problem as:

Since there are 4 raisins, therefore, for  every 9 pieces in Ren's handful of trail mix there are 2 raisins.

a=24; b=12

step-by-step explanation:

a/b=2: 1

a=2b

36/(1+2)=12

b=12

a=24
