Having some trouble with my math, can anyone help me. I'm not very good at word problems

Salama makes fruit baskets with oranges and bananas.
She uses between 8 and 16 oranges and bananas in a ratio of 3 oranges to 2 bananas.

Drag the correct number of fruit into the box to meet these requirements.

Answer:

9 oranges: bananas

Explanation:

ok so I just did somthinglike this with my cuz so here is what I got

Ratio is 3 oranges : 2 bananas, They add up to 5 fruits, so some possible values are 5, 10, 15 , 20, 25, etc. We need a value between 8 and 16. This means that we need 15/5= 3 portions of fruits and since the ratio is 3:2

We multiply this by the original ratio to get 9 oranges : 6 bananas
