Question

What is the answer to this question

Answer 1

32

Explanation:

If 3:4 then 24:x (x represent the unknown)

So you have to divide 24 by 3 and the answer you get, which is 8, you multiply with four to get 32.

So we can say that both types of grapes are 8 times the amount that they originally were.

Answer 2

Number of Black grapes = 32

Explanation:

This is a problem related to ratio and proportion. We are given the number of Green Grapes and the ration of Green Grapes to the Black Grapes

The ratio is 3:4

This means

`(G_g)/(G_b) = (3)/(4)`

Now assume that the number of Black Grapes = x

Given that
`G_g`=24

Substituting these values in
`(G_g)/(G_b) = (3)/(4)`

`(24)/(x) = (3)/(4)`

`24*4 = 3*x\\x=(24*4)/(3)\\x=(8*4)/(1)\\x=32`

Hence the number of Black Grapes are 32
