Heyy lol :) I’m bored as heck but yeah
Answer:
450 portugals
Step-by-step explanation:
in this question, we are tasked with calculating the number of portugals which are picked by the farmer
Firstly, let the number of portugals picked be p and the number of oranges picked be r.
Thus;
p + r = 600 ••••••••••(i)
Secondly there are 3 times as many oranges as there are portugals;
That would be;
3 * r = p
3r = p. •••••••••(ii)
substitute ii into i
3r + r = 600
4r = 600
r = 600/4
r = 150
P = 3r
p = 3 * 150 = 450
I think x = 78
because 21/14 = 1.5
so x = 1.5*52
x = 78
