Question

PLEASE HELP! A zoo feeds it’s monkeys a mixture of fruits and vegetables. The ratio of fruits and vegetable is shown in the diagram.

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1) Monkey A $42\ vegetables$

Part 2) Monkey B $50\ fruits$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of fruits

y ----> the number of vegetables

we know that

The ratio of fruits  and vegetables is equal to

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{5}{7}$

Part 1) Find the number of vegetables Monkey A

we know that

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{5}{7}$

$x=30\ fruits$

substitute and solve for y

$\frac{30}{y} =\frac{5}{7}$

$y=30*7/5=42\ vegetables$

Part 2) Find the number of fruits Monkey B

we know that

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{5}{7}$

$y=70\ vegetables$

substitute and solve for x

$\frac{x}{70} =\frac{5}{7}$

$x=70*5/7=50\ fruits$

Answer 2

Answer with explanation:

From the given picture , it can be seen that the ratio of the fruits to the vegetables is 5:7

Let x be the number of vegetables corresponds 30 fruits for Monkey A.

Then , by using proportional relationships between fruits and vegetables , we have :-

$\dfrac{x}{30}=\dfrac{7}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{30\times7}{5}=42$

So, the number of vegetables for Monkey A = 42

Let y  be the number of vegetables corresponds 70 vegetables for Monkey B.

Then , we have :-

$\dfrac{y}{70}=\dfrac{5}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{70\times5}{7}=50$

So, the number of fruits for Monkey B = 50
