(a)
Fraction of the passion fruits left
= 1 -
12 =
12 Fraction of the chikoos left
= 1 -
35 =
25The number of passion fruits and chikoos left were the same. Make the number of passion fruits and chikoos left the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Number of passion fruits at first = 4 u
Number of chikoos at first = 5 u
4 u = 68
1 u = 68 ÷ 4 = 17
Number of passion fruits left
= 2 u
= 2 x 17
= 34
(b)
Number of chikoos at first
= 5 u
= 5 x 17
= 85
Answer(s): (a) 34; (b) 85
