Question

i ate twice as many apples as bananas and 3 times as many nectarines as bananas. If i ate a total of 12 fruit, how many apples? how many bananas? how many nectarines

Answer 1

2 bananas
4 apples
6 nectarines

2x2=4
2x3=6
2+4+6=12

Answer 2

Below.

Explanation:

Let the number of bananas I ate be x.

Number of apples
`= 2x`.

Number of blueberries
`= 3x`.

So we have the equation:

`x + 2x +3x = 12`

`6x = 12`

`x = 2`.

So I ate 2 bananas, 4 apples and 6 blueberries.
