how many fruits did they ate individually? (Use Listing Method)​

Answer 1

Given:

Jason ate 3 mango's/week and Joseph ate 4 apple's/week.

To find:

We need to find how many fruits did they ate in seven weeks.

Solution:

Jason ate 3 mango's per week.

So,

• Number of mango's eaten by Jason in 1st week $=3$.
• Number of mango's eaten by Jason in 2nd week $=3$.
• Number of mango's eaten by Jason in 3rd week $=3$.
• Number of mango's eaten by Jason in 4th week $=3$.
• Number of mango's eaten by Jason in 5th week $=3$.
• Number of mango's eaten by Jason in 6th week $=3$.
• Number of mango's eaten by Jason in 7th week $=3$.

So, total number of mango's eaten by Jason in seven weeks is,

$3+3+3+3+3+3+3=21$.

Joseph ate 4 apple's per week.

So,

• Number of apple's eaten by Joseph in 1st week $=4$.
• Number of apple's eaten by Joseph in 2nd week $=4$.
• Number of apple's eaten by Joseph in 3rd week $=4$.
• Number of apple's eaten by Joseph in 4th week $=4$.
• Number of apple's eaten by Joseph in 5th week $=4$.
• Number of apple's eaten by Joseph in 6th week $=4$.
• Number of apple's eaten by Joseph in 7th week $=4$.

So, total number of apple's eaten by Joseph in seven weeks is,

$4+4+4+4+4+4+4=28$.

Therefore, total mango's eaten by Jason in seven weeks is 21 and the total apple's eaten by Joseph in seven weeks is 28.
