2/3 of the pieces of Fruit in Lurene's basket are oranges. Of the fruit that are not oranges, 2/3 are apples, IF 2/2 of the apples are green and there are 6 pieces of fruit that are neither apples or oranges, how many more oranges than green apples are in Lurene's basket?

Is 2/2 a typo?

sorry it is a typo. The problem is restated

2/3 of the pieces of Fruit in Lurene's basket are oranges. Of the fruit that are not oranges, 2/3 are apples, If 2/3 of the apples are green and there are 6 pieces of fruit that are neither apples or oranges, how many more oranges than green apples are in Lurene's basket?

i think 18 more oranges

if 2/3 is orange then 1/3 is apple + other fruits ,in 1/3 there are 6 other fruits which are equals to green apples becz ratio is 2/2..>1/1 so 1/3part of fruits=12 then 2/3 is 24 wihch are oranges..hence 18 more oranges than green apples..

To solve this problem, let's break down the information given:

1. 2/3 of the pieces of fruit in Lurene's basket are oranges.
2. Of the fruit that are not oranges, 2/3 are apples.
3. All of the apples are green.
4. There are 6 pieces of fruit that are neither apples nor oranges.

Let's begin by finding the total number of fruits in Lurene's basket.

First, let's assume there are 'x' pieces of fruit in Lurene's basket.

Since 2/3 of the pieces are oranges, we can calculate the number of oranges as (2/3) * x.

The number of fruit that are not oranges would then be (1 - 2/3) * x, which simplifies to (1/3) * x.

Since 2/3 of the fruit that are not oranges are apples, we can calculate the number of apples as (2/3) * (1/3) * x.

Given that all the apples are green, the number of green apples is equal to the number of apples.

Lastly, we know that there are 6 pieces of fruit that are neither apples nor oranges.

Now, let's put all the information together to form the equation:

(2/3) * x + (1/3) * x + (2/3) * (1/3) * x + 6 = x

To solve this equation, we can simplify it:

(2/3) * x + (1/3) * x + (2/9) * x + 6 = x

Combining like terms, we get:

(6/9) * x + (2/9) * x + 6 = x

Simplifying further, we have:

(8/9) * x + 6 = x

Subtracting (8/9) * x from both sides, we get:

6 = (1/9) * x

Multiplying both sides by 9, we get:

54 = x

Therefore, there are 54 pieces of fruit in Lurene's basket.

Now, let's calculate the number of oranges and green apples:

Number of oranges = (2/3) * 54 = 36
Number of green apples = (2/3) * (1/3) * 54 = 4

Finally, to find the difference between the number of oranges and green apples, we calculate:

Difference = Number of oranges - Number of green apples = 36 - 4 = 32

So, there are 32 more oranges than green apples in Lurene's basket.
