Sure, that's easy. First, pull out the iron filings with a magnet. Separate the pebbles by pouring the mixture through a grate, with holes large enough to allow the sand and salt to fall through, but not large enough to allow the pebbles to fall through. Finally, to separate the sand and the salt, just add water. The salt will dissolve, the sand won't. If you want to recover the salt in solid form, you can then boil away the water in the salt solution, and get your salt back. Done.

How do you separate a mixture of iron fillings copper metal and silicon pellets?
Easy, magnet to seperate iron. water to seperate the wood because wood floats but pebbles sink.
How can you separate sand table salt iron fillings and naphthalene?
You can pull the iron out with a magnet. Heat the mixture, taking appropriate safety precautions, and the naphthalene will sublime off and can be collected on a cold surface. Add the remainder to water, the salt will dissolve and the sand won't. Filter to collect the sand, and crystallize the salt from the filtrate.
How you separate common salt and aluminium fillings?
Use water to dissolve the salt. Filter to seperate the aluminum. Evaporate the water to get the salt.
How do you separate iron nails and salt?
One way to separate iron nails and salt is by using a magnet. Since iron is magnetic, you can move a magnet over the mixture and the iron nails will be attracted to the magnet, allowing you to separate them from the salt. Another method is to dissolve the mixture in water, as salt dissolves readily, and then use filtration to separate the solid iron nails from the dissolved salt solution.
How would you separate ground pepper and pebbles?

filtration
How will you separate a mixture of common salt camphor and iron fillings?
Iron is separated with a (electro)magnet.Camphor is extracted with acetone.
How do you separate iron fillings and sand?
magnetic separation-the iron fillings are small and can be magnetize so, by using magnets you can able to separate sand from iron fillings
Can you separate the salt and iron fillings?
Yes. You can add water to dissolve the salt (the iron will not dissolve). Then pour off the solution, leaving the iron filings behind. If you want to now retrieve the salt, you can just evaporate the water.

If you made a mixture of iron fillings and salt how could you separate that mixture into its 2 original substances?
Place the mixture in water. You recover the iron once the salt dissolves. Then allow the water salt mixture to dry and allow salt crystals to reform.
