Explanation:

Step1: Find the ratio of peanuts

The initial amount of peanuts is 8 ounces and the new amount is 28 ounces. The ratio of new - to - old peanuts is $\frac{28}{8}=\frac{7}{2}$.

Step2: Apply the ratio to raisins

The initial amount of raisins is 6 ounces. Multiply the initial amount of raisins by the ratio of peanuts. So the new amount of raisins is $6\times\frac{7}{2}=21$ ounces.
