Ryan was going to the store to buy groceries and specifically some fruit. He bought a total of 45 pieces of fruit.

He bought 15 apples and the rest were a variety of assorted fruit. Besides the apples, which were in a separate bag, If he had three baskets to put the rest of the fruit in, how many pieces of fruit would go in each basket?

Write an equation to solve for (F), how much fruit would go in each basket.

Answer 1

10 pieces of fruit

Explanation:

At the moment, without counting the apples, he has 30 apples and 3 baskets. We can start picking up 1 fruit and placing it in the baskets 1 by 1. When we are done, each basket will have 10 fruits in each basket.

30 / 3 = F

F = 10

Answer 2

10 Equation: (45-15) divided by 3

Explanation:

45-15= 30

30 divided by 3 = 10
