Answer 2

32

Explanation:

Given: In a bowl of fruit, there are green grapes and black grapes in the ratio of
`3:4` in there are
`24` green grapes.

To Find: how many black grapes are there.

Solution:

The ratio of green grapes and black grapes is
`3:4`

Let the number of green grapes in bowl be
`=3\text{x}`

Therefore

Number of black grapes are
`=4\text{x}`

now,

Number of green grapes are
`=24`

`3\text{x}=24`

`\text{x}=8`

Number of black grapes are
`=4\text{x}`

`4*8`

`32`

hence the total number of black grapes in bowl of fruit is
`32`.
