Question

Neha used 4 bananas and 5 oranges in her fruit salad. Daniel used 7 bananas and 9 oranges. Did Neha and Daniel use the same ratio of bananas to oranges? If not, who used the greater ratio of bananas to oranges?

Answer 1

Answer: No they do not use the same ratio. Neha uses the greater ratio of bananas to oranges

Explanation:

You have to make the ratios equivalent, Do least common multiple so what you have to do is multiply 7x5 and 9x5, then you have to multiply 4x9 and 5x9

Daniel: 7x5=35

9x5=45

so the ratio would be 35:45

Neha: 4x9=36

5x9=45

so the ratio would be 36:45

That shows Neha and Daniel don't have the same ratio. Neha has the greater ratio of bananas to oranges. (I hope you understand and if I am wrong, I am super sorry!)
