Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In a recipe of trail mix there is 7 ounces of alomond and 5 ounces of raisins.
Now, finding the ounces of almonds in 1 pound bag of trail mix.
remember; 1 pound= 16 ounces.
As given Ratio of Almond and raisin in trail mix is 7:5
If we add the ratio, we get total mixture of almond and raisin.
∴[tex]7+5= 12\ ounces[/tex]
Next finding the proportion of almond in the mixture of 16 ounces.
⇒ Ounces of almonds would be in a 16 ounces bag of trail mix= [tex]\frac{7}{12} \times 16\ ounces= 9.33\ ounces[/tex]
We know 16 ounces= 1 pound.
∴ 9.33 ounces of almonds would be in a 1 pound bag of trail mix.
