The ratio of passion fruits to guavas is 3 : 4. If 6 guavas are added, the ratio of passion fruits to guavas will be 3 : 7. How many less passion fruits than guavas are there in the end?
| |
Passion Fruits |
Guavas |
| Before |
3 u |
4 u |
| Change |
|
+ 6 |
| After |
3 u |
7 u |
The number of passion fruits at first and in the end remains unchanged.
Number of guavas added
= 7 u - 4 u
= 3 u
3 u = 6
1 u = 6 ÷ 3 = 2
Number of less passion fruits than guavas in the end
= 7 u - 3 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 2
= 8
Answer(s): 8
