Answer 1

Answer:

Neha and Daniel do not use the same ratio of bananas to oranges

Neha used the grater ratio of bananas to oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios

The ratio is expressed as a:b, where a and b are whole numbers.

Neha used 4 bananas and 5 oranges in her fruit salad. Daniel used 7 bananas and 9 oranges in his.

We use cross multiplication to find if the ratios of bananas to oranges are the same.

Neha s ratio is 4:5

Daniel s ratio is 7:9

To compare both ratios we use the expression:

$\displaystyle \frac{4}{5} =?\frac{7}{9}$

The question mark means equality could be true or false.

The cross multiplication consists of multiplying the denominator of one side by the numerator of the other side:

$4*9 =? 5*7$

Operating:

$36 =? 35$

The equality is false, thus

Neha and Daniel do not use the same ratio of bananas to oranges

Since the left side of the equality is greater than the second:

Neha used the grater ratio of bananas to oranges
