Problem

Compare the raisin-to-peanut ratios in Mix A and Mix B.

Big Picture

What this problem is really about

The mixes use different amounts, so comparing only the raisin counts would ignore how many peanuts accompany them. We’ll write both relationships as raisins divided by peanuts and compare the fractions with cross products or a common peanut count. Keeping the same numerator and denominator meanings makes the larger ratio interpretable.
