Answer:
Total mass of the mixture is 520 grams.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of coriander and cumin in the mixture is [tex]\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{4}[/tex]cups.
Therefore, the quantity of coriander in 6 cups will be = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}}\times 6[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{3}{4}}\times 6[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{4}{3}\times 6[/tex]
= 4 cups
And number of cups of cumin = 6 - 4
= 2 cups
Since a cup coriander weighs 80 grams and cumin weighs 100 grams.
Amount of coriander in the mixture = 4×80
= 320 grams
Amount of cumin in the mixture = 2×100
= 200 grams
Total mass of the mixture = 320 + 200
= 520 grams.
