Question

Najah used 14 bananes and 15 oranges in her fruit salad Danny used bananas andoranges. Did Najah and Danny use the some ratio of bananas to oranges?

Answer 1

Given:

Number of bananas Najah used = 14

Number of Ornages Najah used = 15

Number of bananas Danny used = 7

Number oranges Danny used = 9

Let's determine if Najah and Danny used the same ratio of bananas to oranges.

Ratio is used to compare two quantities.

If they used the same ratio, the quotient of their banana to oranges will be the same.

To determine if both of them used the same ratio, let's divide the number of their bananas to oranges.

Thus, we have:

`\text{Najah}\Longrightarrow\text{ Bananas to Oranges}\Longrightarrow14\colon15=(14)/(15)=0.93`
`\text{Danny}\Longrightarrow\text{Bananas to Oranges}\Longrightarrow7\colon9=(7)/(9)=0.78`

Since the quotients are not the same, we can say that they did NOT use the same ratio of bananas to oranges.

ANSWER:

No
