A fruit recipe requires 2 apples and 3 Mangoes.A baker has 37 Mangoes.What is the smallest number of apples he will need to bake as many fruit tarts as possible?
3/2 = 37/A.
3A = 74,
A = 74/3 = 24 2/3 apples or 25 apples, min.
37/3 = 12 tarts will use as many mangoes as possible
so, he will need 12*2 apples
To find the smallest number of apples the baker will need to bake as many fruit tarts as possible, we need to determine how many sets of 2 apples can be made using the available mangoes.
If the baker has 37 mangoes, we can divide this number by the number of mangoes required for one set of fruit tarts: 37 mangoes / 3 mangoes = 12 sets.
Since each set of fruit tarts requires 2 apples, we can multiply the number of sets by the number of apples needed per set: 12 sets x 2 apples = 24 apples.
Therefore, the baker will need a minimum of 24 apples to bake as many fruit tarts as possible using the available mangoes.
