Answer:

12 pistachios

Explanation:

We need to find the unit rate. So we divide 5 from 15.

15/5=3

So we know that 1 bowl has 3 pistachios(which I think needs more).

Now we need to find how many pistachios are in 4 bowls. Which means we multiply 4 and 3.

4x3=12

So there are 12 pistachios in 4 bowls.
