Question

Ken uses 6 apples and 2 bananas to make a fruit salad. He put twice as many oranges as bananas in the salad. How many pieces of fruit will Ken use to make 2 fruit salads?

Answer 1

24 pieces of fruits are use to make 2 fruit salads.

Explanation:

Given:

Ken uses 6 apples and 2 bananas to make a fruit salad. He put twice as many oranges as bananas in the salad.

Now, to find the number of pieces of fruit Ken will use to make 2 fruit salads.

So, pieces of fruits use to make a salad are:

Apples = 6.

Bananas = 2.

Oranges = twice of bananas = 2×2=4.

So, total pieces of fruits to make a salad =
`6+2+4=12.`

Now, total pieces of fruits to make 2 fruit salads:

`(6+2+4)* 2`

`=12* 2`

`=24.`

Therefore, 24 pieces of fruits are use to make 2 fruit salads.
