Question

the number of apples in a basket varies directly as the number of oranges. if a basket had 35 apples with 7 oranges, how many apples are there in a basket with 30 oranges?

Answer 1

150

Explanation:

we're gonna compare ratios. if the initial ratio is 35/7, then we will need to make a similar one for this question. with apples on top, we'll write 'x/30' and cross multiply and solve to get 150

Answer 2

150

Explanation:

35÷7=5 therefore each 5 apples is equal to 1 orange
