Answer:

He sold 32 apples, 40 peaches and 60 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

4 apples are sold every 5 peaches and

3 tomatoes are sold every 2 peaches.

i.e. the ratio is apples: peaches = 4 : 5     ...... (1)

and the ratio peaches: tomatoes = 2 : 3   ...... (2)

Peaches are the common link here in both the ratio terms.

Let us make the peaches value in both the <em>ratio as 10 </em>to make it equal in both the ratio terms.

Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 5:

The ratio becomes;

apples:peaches = 8:10

peaches: tomatoes = 10:15

In other words, the ratio becomes:

apples:peaches:tomatoes = 8:10:15

Let the number of apples = 8x

Let the number of peaches = 10x\\

Let the number of tomatoes = 15x

We are given that total fruits are = 132

\Rightarrow 8x+10x+15x = 132\\\Rightarrow 33x = 132\\\Rightarrow x =4\\

So, number of apples sold = 8 \times 4 = 32

Number of peaches sold = 10 \times 4 = 40

Number of tomatoes sold = 15 \times 4 = 60

Focus on number two ok
melomori [17]
Its simple, convert 1 and 2/3 into a fraction which is 5/3 and use KCF which is Keep Change and Flip,

How this works is that you keep the first fraction, then change the division sign to a multiplication sign (Change = change the sign into its oppisite) then flip the other fraction from being 5/3 into 3/5. And then you multiply top times top and bottom times bottom. After that you simplify if you can, Hope this helped!

Answer:

= 4

Step-by-step explanation:

sqrt 15 = 3.872

to approximate to the nearest whole number (integer), you take the first decimal number which is 8, since 8 is greater than 5, you will add one(1) to the whole number which is 3 to make it 4.

ratelena [41]
If George's bike weighs 15 pounds, then we can say that because Obed's bike is 3 pounds heavier than George's, Obed's bike weighs 18 pounds. If Obed's bike weighs 18 pounds, then we can say that because Elsa's bike is twice as heavy as Obed's, Elsa's bike weighs 9 pounds.
