Question

You buy bananas and strawberries in the ratio of 3 : 4. Choose the expression for the number of bananas you buy when you buy n strawberries.

ANSWER: 3/4n

Answer 1

`(3)/(4)n`

Explanation:

The ratio of bananas to strawberries is 3:4.

That means for every 3 bananas you buy, you buy 4 strawberries.

That also means that for every 4 strawberries you buy, you buy 3 bananas.

The number of bananas you buy is 3/4 of the number of strawberries you buy.

If you buy n strawberries, then the number of bananas you buy is

`(3)/(4)n`
