Question

if mr. Lu has 12 apples and oranges and missing you so that's three apples is only two oranges if they spent the same amount of money on fruit how much is an Apple worth still compared to an orange​

Answer 1

If they spent the same amount of money, then an apple is $2 less then an orange.

Explanation:

So, we already know that Lu has 12 apples and oranges. We also know the ratio: 3 apples:2 oranges.

So, in order to see the cost of one apple and one orange, we need to divide the number 12 by these numbers.

12 ÷ 3 = $4 per apple

12 ÷ 2 = $6 per orange

Therefore, if they spent the same amount of money, (which can only give them 3 apples for $12, or 2 oranges for $12), then an apple is $2 less then an orange.

Answer 2

The ratio of oranges to apples is 2:3.
