Liam had to collect some fruits from two stalls and deliver some fruits to another stall. He collected from Stall F and the ratio of passion fruits to apples was 7 : 8. When he reached Stall G, he unloaded
78 of the apples and some passion fruits from his vehicle. The ratio of passion fruits to apples became 1 : 2. At Stall H, 43 passion fruits and 26 apples were collected and the number of passion fruits to apples became the same.
- How many fruits were there on his vehicle after visiting Stall H?
- How many passion fruits were delivered to Stall G?

Comparing passion fruits and apples at first |
Stall F |
7x2 = 14 u |
8x2 = 16 u |
Before 1 |
Stall F |
14 u |
8x2 = 16 u |
Change 1 |
Stall G |
- ? |
- 7x2 = - 14 u |
After 1 |
Stall H |
1 u |
1x2 = 2 u |
Before 2 |
Stall H |
1x1 = 1 u |
2x1 = 2 u |
Change 2 |
Stall H |
+ 43 |
+ 26 |
After 2 |
Stall H |
1 u + 43 |
2 u + 26 |
(a)
The number of apples after unloading at Stall G is repeated. Make the number of apples left after unloading at Stall G the same. LCM of 2 and 1 is 2.
The number of apples collected at Stall F is repeated. Make the number of apples collected at Stall F the same by multiplying 8 by 2.
The number of passion fruits and apples in the end is the same.
2 u + 26 = 1 u + 43
2 u - 1 u = 43 - 26
1 u = 17
Number of passion fruits on his vehicle after collecting from Stall H
= 1 u + 43
= 1 x 17 + 43
= 17 + 43
= 60
Number of fruits on his vehicle after collecting from Stall H
= 2 x 60
= 120
(b)
Number of passion fruits delivered to Stall G
= 14 u - 1 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 17
= 221
Answer(s): (a) 120; (b) 221
