Question

A food packaging company makes a popular fruit cocktail. To ensure a good mixture of fruit, there are 3 cherry halves for every white grapes in a jar. An inspector notices that one jar has 12 cherry halbes and 20 white grapes. What can be done to fix the error

Answer 1

Answer: add 12

Explanation:

First make a rate

The rate will be 3/8

Check to see if you can multiply 3 by anything to get 12

You can multiply 3x4 to get 12

If you multiply 8 times 4 you don’t get 20 you get 32

32-20 is 12

So you need 12 more

Answer 2

so there is 3 halves for every 1 grape.
3: 1 of there is 12: 20 then u divide 12 by 3 and get 4. u take 16 grapes out so u will have 4 left.
