Question

If there are 4 apples for every 5 oranges, and there are 16 apples, how many fruits are there altogether?

Answer 1

36 fruits (I'm not sure, but I think it's correct)

Explanation:

4 apples = 5 oranges

16 apples = ? oranges

4 x ? = 16

4 x 4 = 16

5 x 4 = 20

4 apples = 5 oranges

16 apples = 20 oranges

16 + 20 = 36 fruits

Answer 2

16:n

16÷4=4

4×5=20

16:20

16+20=36
