Shaun had 56 nuts in a bag 3 in every 7 nuts are peanuts. how many peanuts are there in a bag?

So tbh this is a confusing question but if you cant use the numbers then put it to the pictures!
i actually drew out 56 circles in rows of 7 (there were 8 rows)
but then after that i colored in the first 3 circles of every row
after that i counted how many colored in circles i had 
there were 24!
so that means 24 of the 56 nuts were peanuts:)
hope this helps chu out 
ill add an extra link:)
