    Answer:216

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We let x to represent the number of other nuts

    Peanut : other

    5 : 3

    360 : X

    Then we cross multiply

    5 * x = 360 * 3

    5X = 1080

    Divide bothside by 5

    5X/5 = 1080/5

    X = 216

    Therefore the number of other nuts in the can is 216.
