Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that your question is lacked of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit with the original one:

Ed is using the recipe shown below to make fruit salad. He wants to use 54 diced strawberries in his fruit salad. How many bananas, apples, and pears should Ed use in his fruit salad?Fruit Salad Recipe: 4 bananas, diced. 3 apples, diced. 6 pears, diced. 6 strawberries, diced.

Here is my answer:

It can be seen that he wants to use 54 diced strawberries, then he is making:

$\frac{54}{6}$ = 9 times the amount of salad given in the recipe. So that we multiply the quantity of each fruit with 9 to find out the amount needed. Therefore, we need:

• 4*9 =36 banana diced
• 3*9 = 27 apple diced
• 6*3 = 18 pear diced

Hope it will find you well.
