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

Serhud [2]
In the problem it is already given that Weston Laundry washed 285.38 pounds of towel and 353.47 pounds of sheets from local hotels in 1 day. Firstly we have to find the total pounds of linens that Weston Laundry has washed in 7 days. Then only will it be possible to find the amount of linen washed in a day.
Then t
Total linen washed by Weston Laundry in 7 days = (285.38 + 353.47) pounds
                                                                               = 638.85 pounds.
Then
The amount of linen washed by Weston Laundry in 1 day = 638.85/7
                                                                                             = 91.26 pounds
So Weston Laundry washed about 91.26 pounds of linen each day.
