Answer 1

Answer:

So the first equation you get is a + b + m = 42.

Then with less than and greater than I tend to make them equal for the sake of making it easier.

So B = .5a; a = 1/3m; m = 3/4b

First I'm going to solve for bananas as when i know that I know apples is a little more than double that.

So b = .5a which equals a = 2b (as stated above);

So 2B + b + (3/4)B = 42 = (15/4)b = 42 = 15B = 168 which equals [spoiler]B = 11[/spoiler]

So you take that and plug it in for [spoiler]11 = .5A which is a 22 but remember bananas are less than half of so it's going to be greater than 22 and since fruits are whole it's 23.[/spoiler]
