Question

Pradip and Pam each have a plate of Apple slices and Orange slices. the ratio of Apple slices to the total number of slices on Pradips plate is 4 to 11. The ratio of total number of slices to orange slices on pam's plate is 13:6. Neither person has more than 20 total slices. Who has more Orange slices?

explain

Answer 1

Pradip

Explanation:

The "total" number in each ratio must be the actual total of the number of fruit slices on the plate. Since the total must be less than 20, neither ratio number (11 or 13) can be multiplied by 2 or any higher factor.

The number of orange slices on Pradip's plate is 11 -4 = 7.

The number of orange slices on Pam's plate is given as 6.

Pradip has more orange slices.
