Answer 2

He have 42 oranges and 7 mangoes.

The correct answer is 7 mangoes and 42 oranges.

Explanation:

Given:

Renaldo has six times as many oranges as mangoes. He has 49 pieces of fruit in all. Let r represent the number of oranges and m represent the number of mangoes.

Now to find the number of each fruit Renaldo have.

As, given:

Let
`r` represent the number of oranges and
`m` represent the number of mangoes.

So, as he has six times as many oranges as mangoes.

Thus,

`r=6m` ..........( 1 )

Total number of fruits = 49.

According to question:

`m+r=49`

Substituting the value of
`r` from equation (1) we get:

`m+6m=49`

`7m=49`

Dividing both sides by 7 we get:

`m=7.`

Number of mangoes = 7.

Now, to get the number of oranges we put the value of
`m` in equation (1):

`r=6m`

`r=6* 7`

`r=42.`

The number of oranges = 42.

Therefore, he have 42 oranges and 7 mangoes.

The correct answer is 7 mangoes and 42 oranges.
