The ratio of almonds to mixed nuts in this can is 5:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of the can of mixed nuts = 16 ounces

Weight of the cashews included in the can = 6 ounces

Weight of the almonds included in the can = 10 ounces

Ratio of almonds to mixed nuts in this can = 10 to 16

Ratio of almonds to mixed nuts in this can = 5 to 8 (simplifying) = 5:8

Ratio of almonds to cashews in this can = 10 to 6

Ratio of almonds to cashews in this can = 5 to 3 (simplifying) = 5:3

Ratio of cashews to mixed nuts in this can = 6 to 16

Ratio of cashews to mixed nuts in this can = 3 to 8 (simplifying) = 3:8

The ratio of almonds to mixed nuts in this can is 5:8
