Question

A bag contains apples and bananas in the ratio 3 : 5. If the weight of these fruits in
the bag is 3 kg, find the weight of apples and bananas in grams.

Answer 1

total ratio = 8

apples = 3/8 x 3 = 9/8= 1.125 approx 1.1kg

bananas = 5/8 x 3 = 15/8 = 1.875 approx 1.9kg

1 kg = 1000g

1.1 kg = 1.1 x 1000 = 1100 g

1.9kg = 1.9 x 1000 = 1900 g

Apples = 1100 g

Bananas = 1900 g
