\(A:C:P = 5:8:11\)
We do have 11 pounds for the total picture which is = to 5+8+11=24
The peanuts are \(\frac{11}{24}\) and we have a total of mixture = to 156
So the peanuts are \(\frac{11}{24} *156
\)
In other words, 11/24 represents how much of the total pound 156 or 71.5 pounds of peanuts over a total of 156 pounds
