Answer 1

Mr. Toro's recipe requires 7.5 mangos for 12 bananas, and his brother's recipe requires 10 mangos for the same number of bananas. Therefore, both fruit salads can be made with 12 bananas, and the correct answer is C. Both 1 and 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which statement is true about Mr. Toro's famous fruit salad and his brother's famous fruit salad, we need to calculate the number of mangos needed for each recipe given 12 bananas.

For Mr. Toro's fruit salad, the ratio is 1.25 mangos for every 2 bananas. To find out how many mangos are needed for 12 bananas, we can set up a proportion:

• (1.25 mangos / 2 bananas) = (x mangos / 12 bananas)
• x = (1.25 mangos / 2 bananas) × 12 bananas
• x = 7.5 mangos

Therefore, for 12 bananas, Mr. Toro's recipe would require 7.5 mangos.

For his brother's fruit salad, the ratio is 2.5 mangos for every 3 bananas. Again, setting up a proportion:

• (2.5 mangos / 3 bananas) = (y mangos / 12 bananas)
• y = (2.5 mangos / 3 bananas) × 12 bananas
• y = 10 mangos

So, for 12 bananas, Mr. Toro's brother's recipe would require 10 mangos.

Comparing these outcomes, we can see that both fruit salads can be made with the given 12 bananas, meaning the correct answer is C. Both 1 and 2.
