27The number of passion fruits and mangoes left were the same. Make the number of passion fruits and mangoes left the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Number of passion fruits at first = 10 u
Number of mangoes at first = 7 u
10 u = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 10 = 9
Number of passion fruits left
= 2 u
= 2 x 9
= 18
(b)
