Question

In a bowl of fruit, there are green grapes and black grapes in the ratio 3:4, if there are 24 green grapes, how many black grapes are there?

Answer 1

32 black grapes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of grapes so

3x=24

then 24/3

and that equals 8

then plug 8 in and you get 32

Answer 2

Answer:

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio = 3:4 = 3/4

Let the number of black grapes be x.

3/4 = 24/x

Cross multiply

3x = 4*24

3x = 96

x = 96/3 = 32

There are 32 black grapes.
