Answer: Phoebe have 48 apples.

Explanation:

It is given that Pru, Piper, and Phoebe share apples in the ratio 5:3:4. If Pru has 24 more apples than Piper.

Let the total number of apples be x.

The sum of the ratios is,

Sum=5+3+4=12

Therefore the number of apples shared by Pru, Piper, Phoebe are \frac{5}{12}x, \frac{3}{12}x,\frac{4}{12}x respectively.

It is given that Pru has 24 more apples than Piper, so

\frac{5}{12}x-\frac{3}{12}x=24

\frac{5-3}{12}x=24

\frac{2}{12}x=24

\frac{1}{6}x=24

x=144

Since phoebe have \frac{4}{12}x appels,

\frac{4}{12}x=\frac{4}{12}\times 144=48

Therefore, Phoebe have 48 apples.

Answer:

Phoebe has 48 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Pru's number of apples= 5x

Piper's number of apples= 3x

Phoebe's number of apples= 4x

We know that 5x=3x+24. Solve for x.

5x-3x= 24

2x=24

x=12

12*4= 48

Phoebe has 48 apples
