The value of two plums and a peanut, divided by a grape and a peanut is 11

<h3>How to solve the expression?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Peanut = 1
Grape = 2
Acorn + 3 grapes = 14
Acorn = 1/2 Plum

Substitute Grape = 2 in Acorn + 3 grapes = 14

Acorn + 3 *2 = 14

Acorn + 6 = 14

Subtract 6 from both sides

Acorn = 8

Substitute Acorn = 8 in Acorn = 1/2 Plum

8 = 1/2 Plum

Multiply both sides by 2

Plum = 16

So, we have:

Peanut = 1

Grape = 2

Acorn = 8

Plum = 16

The value of two plums and a peanut, divided by a grape and a peanut is:

(2 plums + peanut)/(grape + peanut)

This gives

(2 * 16 + 1)/(2+ 1)

Evaluate

11

Hence, the value of two plums and a peanut, divided by a grape and a peanut is 11
