//
C. 3
B. 1
}
D. D.8

Answer 1

It's the same process, change 4 4/5 to an improper fraction = 24/5 then set up a proportion

4 bananas/(24/5) kg = 3 bananas/x kg take cross products

4x = 3 (24/5) = 72/5 divide by 4 (this is the same as multiplying by 1/4)

x = 72/20, change this to a mixed number = 3 12/20 = 3 3/5 kg
