Question

Fruit: sugar in 2 : 3.
If 8kg of fruit is used, how much sugar?

Answer 1

This means that for every 5 kilograms of fruit, you'll get 3 kilograms of sugar.

----------------

Let's divide 8 into 5 parts. 8/5 = 5/5 + 3/5 = 1.0 + 0.6 = 1.6

----------------

1.6 x 3 = 3 + 1.8 = 4.8

-------------------

This means that within 8 kg of fruit you'll find 4.8 kg of sugar.
