There are 16 fruits in each of the boxes found under the stairs.
<h3>What is an
equation?</h3>
An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.
Let x represent the number of pears, hence:
Number of fruit in first box = 12 + (1/9)x
Number of fruit in second box = number of fruit in third box = (8/9)x ÷ 2 = (4/9)x
Therefore:
12 + (1/9)x = (4/9)x
x = 36
First box = second box = third box = (4/9) * 36 = 16
There are 16 fruits in each of the boxes found under the stairs.

First, let's find out how many 5/6 pound bags he can fill with on 2 pound bag.
2 divided by 5/6
2 x 6/5
2.4
He can fill 2.4 bags with one 2 bag.
Now we just need to multiply 2.4 by a number that will make it a whole number. You can use the guess and check method starting with 2 to figure your answer out, but 2.4 x 5 = 12 which is a whole number.
This means that Chad needs to buy 5 of the 2 pound bags to fill 12 of the 5/6 pound bags, and he will not have peanuts leftover
