Question

Mr. Robles has two kinds of fruit in his basket. The ratio of

apples to oranges in the basket is 3:4.
If there are 9 apples, how many pieces of fruit are in his basket?
OA. 38
OB. 8
OC. 12
OD. 21

Answer 1

answer is "c" - 12

Explanation:

apples = 3x ( 3 of x )

orange = 4x (4 of x)

if 3x = 9

x= 9/3= 3

then 4x = 4(3)= 12!!

There may be other ways to solve this but this is one I guess : )
