(a)
Fraction of the chikoos left
= 1 -
34 =
14 Fraction of the passion fruits left
= 1 -
35 =
25The number of chikoos and passion fruits left were the same. Make the number of chikoos and passion fruits left the same. LCM of 1 and 2 is 2.
Number of chikoos at first = 8 u
Number of passion fruits at first = 5 u
8 u = 112
1 u = 112 ÷ 8 = 14
Number of chikoos left
= 2 u
= 2 x 14
= 28
(b)
Number of passion fruits at first
= 5 u
= 5 x 14
= 70
Answer(s): (a) 28; (b) 70
