Answer 1

Grapes 12 lbs

Apples 20 lbs

Oranges 6 lbs

Cantaloupe 15 lbs

Peaches 15 lbs.

Explanation:

Sammy has bought 12 lbs of Grapes.

Now, weight ration of Apples to Grapes is 5 : 3

Therefore, he bought Apples of
`(12 * 5)/(3) =20` lbs

The wight ration of Grapes to Oranges is 4 : 2

Therefore, he bought Oranges of
`(12 * 2)/(4) =6` lbs

Again, the weight ratio of Cantaloupe to Apples is 3 : 4

Therefore, he bought Cantaloupe of
`(20 * 3)/(4) =15` lbs

Finally the weight ratio of Oranges to Peaches is 2 : 5

Therefore, he bought Peaches of
`(6 * 5)/(2) =15` lbs
