Answer 1

Answer:hope this helps ........plz mark brainly

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of oranges and apples be 3x,14x respectively initially.

Later 10 oranges were eaten so number of oranges left is 3x-10

Therefore now the ration is 1:6=3x-10:14x

So,

14x=6(3x-10)

14x=18x-60. (By transforming)

60=4x

∴x=15

Therefore the number of apples are =14x =14(15) =210 apples were there

Answer 2

Answer:

210 Apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original number of Oranges = 3x

Let original number of Apples = 14x

After eating -

(3x - 10)/14x = 1/6 ( ratio )

x = 15

Therefore, as the number of apples is 14x, the number of Apples are 14*15 = 210

Have a Nice Day !!!
