Question

Sandra wants 1/6 of the fruit in her fruit baskets to be bananas. If the greatest number of fruit that will fit in each basket is 24 what fraction can represent the possible ways Sandra can have the bananas in the fruit baskets? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

If the total capacity of the basket is 24 to find 1/6 you divide 24 by 6 and get 4. 4 is equal to 1/6 of 24 which means Sandra can only bring 4 bananas.
