At the market, 0.2 of the pieces of fruit are peaches, 0.25 is apples, 0.05 is lemons, 0.1 is cherries, 0.2 is grapes, and 0.15 is plums. There are also 8 pineapples and 4 mangos. How many peaches are for sale at the market? How many apples? How many lemons? How many plums?
X pieces of fruit.
.2x + 0.25x + 0.05x + 0.1x + 0.2x + 0.15x = 0.95x.
x - 0.95x = 0.05x = Remaining pieces.
0.05x = 8+4 = 12, X = 240 Pieces of fruit.
a.Peaches = 0.2x.
b. Apples = 0.25x.
c. Lemons = 0.05x.
d. Plums =
To find out how many peaches are for sale at the market, we need to multiply the total number of fruit by the proportion of peaches:
Number of peaches = 0.2 * (total number of fruit)
Similarly, we can calculate the number of apples, lemons, and plums using their respective proportions:
Number of apples = 0.25 * (total number of fruit)
Number of lemons = 0.05 * (total number of fruit)
Number of plums = 0.15 * (total number of fruit)
Since we don't have the total number of fruit explicitly mentioned in the question, we cannot calculate the exact number of each fruit.
To find the number of each fruit for sale at the market, we need to know the total number of pieces of fruit available.
We are given the proportions [0.2, 0.25, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.15] of peaches, apples, lemons, cherries, grapes, and plums, respectively. Let's assume the total number of pieces of fruit is 'x'.
To find the number of peaches:
Number of peaches = 0.2 * x
To find the number of apples:
Number of apples = 0.25 * x
To find the number of lemons:
Number of lemons = 0.05 * x
To find the number of plums:
Number of plums = 0.15 * x
We are also given that there are 8 pineapples and 4 mangos, but these fruits are not mentioned in the proportions. Therefore, they are not included in the calculations.
To solve for 'x' and find the values of each fruit, we need more information.
