A bowl contains pecans, cashews, and almonds in a ratio of 7 : 12 : 18, respectively. If some of the nuts of one of the three types are removed, which of the following could be the ratio of pecans to cashews to almonds remaining in the bowl? i. 1 : 2 : 3 ii. 2 : 3 : 4 iii. 4 : 7 : 10  Pick one
A) I only	B) III only	C) I,II only	D) II only	E) II,III only
i. The ratio 2 : 3 is the same as the given ratio 12 : 18. If one pecan were removed, the new ratio would be 6 : 12 : 18, or 1 : 2 : 3.   ii. None of the nuts currently have a ratio of 3 : 4. The cashews and almonds do have a ratio of 2 : 3, but there are not enough pecans in the bowl to complete the ratio.   iii. The ratio 4 : 10 is the same as the given ratio 6 : 15. To see this, multiply the ratio by 3/2 . The new ratio is 6 : 10.5 : 15. Unfortunately, this means that there are fewer cashews that this ratio would require. Removing cashews won’t create the desired ratio.   I onlynswer : I only
