Question

Mr. and Mrs. Multani provide fruit for their son’s soccer team. For every 3 apples they bring, they also need 1 orange. They developed a table to help them prepare. What will A equal if there are 5 oranges needed? (1 point)

Answer 1

To find the value of A, we need to use the table provided by Mr. and Mrs. Multani. The table states that for every 3 apples, they need 1 orange. Therefore, the ratio of apples to oranges is 3:1.

If 5 oranges are needed, we can set up a proportion:

3 apples / 1 orange = A apples / 5 oranges

Cross multiplying, we get:

3 * 5 = 1 * A

15 = A

Therefore, A equals 15.
