Question

Oliver and Mike each place some apples and oranges into the same bowl.

• The ratio of apples to oranges Oliver places in the bowl is 2:3
• The ratio of apples to oranges Mike places in the bowl is 1:2
• They each place 6 oranges in the bowl.

Write the total number of apples and oranges they place in the bowl. ​

20 divided by 1 = 20
