Answer 1

18 peaches:27 pounds= 1 peach per 1.5 pounds

1 peach:0.50 pounds= 1 peach per 0.5 pound

12 peaches:6 pounds= 2 peaches per pound

3 peaches:4.50 pounds= 1 peach per 1.5 pounds

15 peaches:10 pounds= 1 pea h per 1.5 pounds

Answer 2

Hi!

The answer is:

Category 2peaches/1lb:

• Shipment: 1 peach/0.5lb

• Shipment: 12 peaches/6lb

Category 1peach/1,5lb:

• Shipment: 3peaches/4.5lb

• Shipment: 18peaches/27lb

Category 1.5peach/1lb:

• Shipment: 15peaches/10lb

Explanation:

To find what category correspond to each shipment, you have to obtain the proportion for each category.

• Category 2peaches/1lb proportion of 2.

• Category 1peach/1,5lb proportion of 2/3:

• Category 1,5peaches/1lb proportion of 3/2:

Now, reduce the shipments to its simplest form.

• 18/27 simplified by 9 = 2/3 proportion.

• 1/0.5 multiplied by 2 = 2 proportion.

• 12/6 simplified by 6 = 2 proportion.

• 3/4.5 simplified by 1.5 = 2/3 proportion.

• 15/10 simplified by 5 = 3/2 proportion.
