mixture is=peanuts:raisins=3:1
so in (3+1)cup i.e 4 cup there will be 1 cup raisin
so for 16 cup recipe raisin required is=(1/4)*16=16/4=4 cup.

the thing is get this idea:
3 parts peanuts and 1 part raisins.
imagine each "part" is 1 cup, so you have
3 cups of peanuts and 1 cup of raisins.
First question: how many cups total of stuff do you have ?
