Question

Mrs adams buys 4 bananas and 6 apples. Tell wether true or false the ratio of bananas to apples is 6:4

Answer 1

Answer:  The given statement is FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Mrs Adams buys 4 bananas and 6 apples.

We are to check whether the following statement is true or false :

" the ratio of bananas to apples is 6 : 4".

The number of bananas, b = 4

and

the number of apples, a = 6.

Therefore, the ratio of number of bananas to number of apples is given by

$b:a\\\\=\dfrac{b}{a}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=2:3\neq6:4.$

That is, the ratio of number of bananas to number of apples is 2 : 3.

Thus, the given statement is FALSE.
