Question

The weight of 12 bananas is equal to that of 3 pineapples? How many bananas will weigh equal to 9 pineapples?

Answer 1

Answer: 36 bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ratio given is 12 bananas:3 pineapples or 12:3 which further simplified will become 4:1 [4/1].

If we are asked about 9 pineapples then the denominator will be multiplied by 9 and according to the rule whatever is multiplied with denominator should be multiplied by numerator.

Hence, 4*9/1*9 = 36/9 or 36 bananas:9 pineapples

36 bananas will weigh equal to 9 pineapples.
