Amount of Apples sold in 2011 = 4.4 tons

Amount of Apples sold in 2012 = 1.8 tons

Amount of Apples sold in 2013 = 2.8 tons

Amount of Bananas sold in 2010 = 2 tons

Amount of Bananas sold in 2011 = 2 tons

Amount of Bananas sold in 2012 = 3 tons

Amount of Bananas sold in 2013 = 5 tons

To Find:

The ratio of the number of Bananas and Apples that were sold between 2010 and 2013.

Solution:

The question regarding the given bar chart can be solved in the following way.

Amount of Bananas sold in 2010 = 2 tons

Amount of Bananas sold in 2011 = 2 tons

Amount of Bananas sold in 2012 = 3 tons

Amount of Bananas sold in 2013 = 5 tons

Total number of Bananas sold between 2010 and 2013 = 2 + 2 + 3 + 5 = 12 tons

Amount of Apples sold in 2010 = 2.4 tons

Amount of Apples sold in 2011 = 4.4 tons

Amount of Apples sold in 2012 = 1.8 tons

Amount of Apples sold in 2013 = 2.8 tons

Total number of Apples sold between 2010 and 2013 = 2.4 + 4.4 + 1.8 + 2.8 = 11.4 tons

The ratio of the number of tons of Bananas and apples that were sold between 2010 and 2013 = 12/11.4 ≈ 60:57

Therefore the ratio of the number of tons of Bananas and apples that were sold between 2010 and 2013 was 60:57.
