Tough and Tricky questions: Word Problems.



In a serving of a breakfast cereal that contains only oats, raisins, and nuts, the ratio of oats to raisins to nuts by weight is 3 to 2 to 1, respectively. How many ounces of raisins are in the serving ?

(1) The serving weighs 4 ounces.
(2) The serving contains 2 ounces of oats.

Kudos for a correct solution.

St1 : Raisins portion = (1/6)*(4) = 2/3. Sufficient
St2 : 2 ounces of oat --> Raisins = (1/3)*(2) ounces ( ratio - 3:2:1 given). Sufficient

O: R: N = 3:2:1

Statement1: Sufficient; We know the total weight of the serving and the ratio of ingredients from that We can find the value of R
Statement2: Sufficient; O=2 also R=2/3 O from this we can find the value of R
