he would need 90 cups of raisins and 60 cups of cashews

Answer:

18 cups of golden raisins.

12 cups of cashews.

Step-by-step explanation:

The recipe calls 3 parts golden raisins to 2 parts cashews.

Jose would like to make 30 cups of trail mix.

We can define this as : [tex]3x+2x=30[/tex]

[tex]=> 5x=30[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 5, we get

x = 6

Hence, Jose will need [tex]3x=3\times6=18[/tex] cups of golden raisins.

And [tex]2x=2\times6=12[/tex] cups of cashews.

So, answer is :

18 cups of golden raisins.

12 cups of cashews.
