25The number of passion fruits and kiwis left were the same. Make the number of passion fruits and kiwis left the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Number of passion fruits at first = 4 u
Number of kiwis at first = 5 u
4 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 4 = 15
Number of passion fruits left
= 2 u
= 2 x 15
= 30
(b)
Number of kiwis at first
= 5 u
= 5 x 15
