4 loaves calls for 12 bananas, if want to make 24 loaves, how many bananas?
4 loaves:12bananas
divide by 4
1loaf=3bananas
times 24 both sides
24loaves=72 bananas
ratio and proprtion way

banas/loaves=4/12
4/12=24/x
times both sides by 12x
4x=12*24
divide both sides by 4
x=3*24
x=72

72 bananas

888 bananas, you can uses ratio or proportion to solve it; 444/121212:X/242424, 444*242424 and divide that by 121212 and you get 888. Hope this helps! :)
