Question

-Conversion Factors-

2 bananas = 3 carrots
2 apples = 5 oranges
7 oranges = 6 figs

Bryce has a strange units system for his time machine. He figures his time machine can travel 24 apples per banana. What would this be in oranges per carrot?

Answer 1

40 oranges/carrot

Explanation:

`(24\,apples)/(1\,bananas)*(5\,oranges)/(2\,apples)*(2\,bananas)/(3\,carrots)=(24\cdot 5\cdot 2\,oranges)/(1\cdot 2\cdot 3\,carrots)\\\\=40(oranges)/(carrot)`
