There were some persimmons and pomegranates in Container G and Container H. In Container G, the ratio of the persimmons to the number of pomegranates was 7 : 1. In Container H, the ratio of the number of persimmons to the number of pomegranates was 5 : 3. There were 2 times as many fruits in Container G as in Container H. After another 49 pomegranates were put into Container H, the ratio of the number of persimmons to the number of pomegranates in Container H became 1 : 2. How many fruits were there in Container H in the end?

The total number of fruits in Container G is repeated. Make the total number of fruits in Container G the same. LCM of 2 and 8 is 16.
The total number of fruits in Container H at first is repeated. Make the total number of fruits in Container H the same. LCM of 1 and 8 is 8.

Number of persimmons in Container H remains unchanged. Make the number of persimmons in Container H the same. LCM of 5 and 1 is 5.
Number of pomegranates put into Container H
= 10 u - 3 u
= 7 u
7 u = 49
1 u = 49 ÷ 7 = 7
Number of fruits in Container H in the end
= 5 u + 10 u
= 15 u
= 15 x 7
= 105
Answer(s): 105
