458,500 because they are 1000 apart and 500+500=1000
Answer:
Pears: 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Constant:
3x + 5x + 2x = 150
10x = 150
x = 15
Multiply ratio with constant from above:
oranges : apples
3 * 15 : 5 * 15
45 : 75 ==> 45 oranges: 75 apples
pears : apples
2 * 15 : 5 * 15
30 : 75 ==> 30 pears: 75 apples
Check:
45 oranges + 75 apples + 30 pears = 150 fruits
You could understand the ration as parts: the total number of parts was 3+7=10.
So girls were 3/10 parts and boys 7/10 parts. The difference was 7-3=4 parts. this difference is equal to 360, so each part is 90 (4*90 =360).
so girls are "3 parts" and each part is 90, then the number of girls is 3*90=270.
