Answer 2

Hey there!

The answer is there would be
`21` pears for every
`9` apples.

To solve this, we can use proportions. We know that for every
`3` apples there are
`7` pears, and we want to how many pears (
`x`) there are for
`9` apples. We can set up the following proportion:

`(3)/(7)`
`= (9)/(x)`

Using cross products, we know that the value of
`9` x
`7` is equal to
`3` x
`x`:

`9(7) = 3(x)`

`63 = 3x`

`21 = x`

Have a terrificly amazing day!
