Question

If the ratio of apples to orange is 2 : 3 , and the bananas to orange is 3 : 5. What is the ratio of apples and bananas

Answer 1

The ratio indicates that the groups in the basket occur in 2 + 3 + 5, for a total of 10 in each group. To find the number of groups, divide 150 by 10.

150/10 = 15

Each one of the 15 groups of fruit has 5 bananas. Multiply 15 x 5.

15 x 5 = 75

There are 75 bananas in the basket.
