Question

In a basket of fruit, 5/6 of the pieces of fruit are apples. There are 20 apples in the display. The equation 5/6f= 20 can be used to find how many pieces of fruit f are the basket. Use words and numbers to explain how to solve the equation to find how many pieces of fruit are in the basket.

Answer 1

There are 24 pieces of fruit in the basket.

Explanation:

There are 24 pieces of fruit in the basket because to find how many there are you would do
`\\ (6)/(5\\)\\ \\` ·
`(5)/(6)`f = 20 · 6/5 times 5/6 cancels out, and 20 time 6/5 is 24. 20/24 can also simplify to 5/6.
