Question

the fruit basket sells variety bags of apples, oranges, and pears. the ratio of the fruit is always 5 apples: 3 oranges: 2 pears. a tape diagram representing the ratio of each type of fruit is shown. what is the least total amount of fruit in a variety bag?

Answer 1

The fruit ratio on the variety bags is

5apples:3oranges:2pears

If you add them you'll get that the minimum number of fruits in the bag that follows this ratio is

`5+3+2=10`

So for every 10 fruits in a bag there will be 5 apples, 3 oranges and 2 pears.
