Answer:

1(17)/(19)

Explanation:

19 bananas =1 watermelon

3 pineapples =1 watermelon

Then

19 bananas = 3 pineapples

1 pineapple = 3 grapes,

then

3 pineapples = 9 grapes

19 bananas = 3 pineapples

then

9 grapes = 19 bananas

x grapes = 4 bananas

Write a proportion:

(9)/(x)=(19)/(4)

Cross multiply

$19x=9\cdot 4\\ \\19x=36\\ \\x=(36)/(19)=1(17)/(19)$
