Question

Barbara’s Catering Company makes the best fruit salad despite using only four ingredients. They use four apples for every mango, two pears for every apple, and one pineapple for every mango. If they used 8 pineapples in their most recent batch, how many total pieces of fruit did they use?

Answer 1

P- pineapple
p-pear
m-mango

a=4*m
p=2*a

8 Pineapples.....8 mangos
a=4*m= 4*8=32 apples
p=2*a=2*32=64 pears
