10 u |
3 u |

- 63 |
+ 63 |
After |
10 u - 63 |
3 u + 63 |
If Ethan gives Japheth 63 passion fruits from his share, they will have the same number of passion fruits.
10 u - 63 = 3 u + 63
10 u - 3 u = 63 + 63
7 u = 126
1 u = 126 ÷ 7 = 18
Number of passion fruits that Ethan has
= 10 u
= 10 x 18
= 180
Answer(s): 180
