Walnuts, peanuts, and chocolate chips are mixed in a ratio of 7:2:5. What is the weight of the mixture if 2.5 lbs. of chocolate chips were used for making it?

The weight of the misture if of 7 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total misture is T.

The ratio means that:

Walnuts are responsible for 7/(7+2+5) = 7/14 = 1/2 of the weight.

Peanuts are responsible for 2/(7+2+5) = 2/14 = 1/7 of the weight.

Chocolate chips are responsible for 5/(7+2+5) = 5/14 of the weight.

2.5 lbs. of chocolate chips were used for making it:

This means that:

Simplifying by 5

The weight of the misture if of 7 lbs.

in mathematics, a function is a relationship between two variables such that the value of one of the variables, called the dependent variable, is determined by the value of the other variable, called the independent variable. there is a specific term we use to describe the set of independent variables of a function.

is there answer choices?
