Answer:

345 other nuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio problem, we are going to use the part to all approach

Step one:

given data

the ratio of peanuts to other nuts is 6 to 5

otherwise expressed as 6:5

the total ratio is 6+5= 11

the total number of peanut is 414

let the other nuts be x

6/5=414/x

cross multiply we have

414*5= 6x

2070=6x

divide both sides by 6

x=2070/6

x=345

345 other nuts
