Question

When Terri makes fruit salad she uses 4 oranges and 3 cups of grapes for every 2 bananas. If Terry uses five bananas how many oranges and how many cups of grapes will she use? Write and solve a proportion

Answer 1

7.5 cups of grapes

Explanation:

4o:3g:2b

With 5b, there's an increase in 2.5 from 2b. (divide 5b/2b)

Since the increase in all the other fruits is proportional by the same amount of 2.5.

This leaves you with 10o:7.5g:5b
