Question

At Frank's Fruit Market, 3 bananas cost as much as 2 apples, and 6 apples cost as much as 4 oranges. How many oranges cost as much as 18 bananas?

Answer 1

18 bananas cost the same as 12 apples, and 12 apples cost the same as 8 oranges, so 18 bananas cost the same as $8

I think that should be the answer hope that helped. Let me know if it worked :3

Answer 2

8 oranges.

Explanation:

A = apples. B = bananas. O = oranges.

3B = 2A

6A = 4O.

Then, 6*3B = 6*2A, i.e 18B=12A.

Now, 12 apples is two times 6 apples, so 12 apples are 8 oranges. Therefore,

18B=12A= 8O.
