A company sells a mix of peanuts and cashews. For every 3 ounces of peanuts, there are 2 ounces of cashews. A batch has 60 ounces of peanuts. How many ounces of cashews will a batch have?

To solve this problem, we need to understand the ratio of peanuts to cashews. The problem states that for every 3 ounces of peanuts, there are 2 ounces of cashews. This gives us a ratio of peanuts to cashews of 3:2.

First, we find how many groups of 3 ounces of peanuts are in the 60 ounces we have:

[

text{Number of groups} = frac{60 text{ ounces of peanuts}}{3 text{ ounces per group}} = 20 text{ groups}

]

Next, since each group corresponds to 2 ounces of cashews, we calculate the total amount of cashews:

[

text{Total ounces of cashews} = 20 text{ groups} times 2 text{ ounces per group} = 40 text{ ounces}

]

So, the correct answer is 40 ounces of cashews.
