(b) Work out how many bananas Rachel has.

Answer 1

Answer:

21

Step-by-step explanation:

ratio of apples to bananas= 2:3

no. of apples Rachel has= 14

2x=14

Therefore x=7

Hence, no. of bananas Rachel have = 3x7

                                                            = 21

Answer 2

The number of bananas Rachel has 21.  

Given:  

Rachel has some apples and bananas. The ratio of apples to bananas is 2 : 3 She has 14 apples.

To find:

Work out how many bananas Rachel has.  

Solution:

The ratio of apples and bananas that Rachel has = 2 : 3

Let 2x and 3x be the number of apples and bananas

It is given that Rachel has 14 apples

=> Number of apples, 2x = 14  

=> x = 7  [ Divided by 2 into both sides]

Hence,

The number of bananas can be calculated as follows

Number of bananas, 3x = 3(7) = 21

Therefore,

The number of bananas Rachel has 21.
