40 apples and 15 bananas
40 apples and 15 bananas
To determine the missing values, we can compare the ratios of apples to bananas in the table.
In the first row, the ratio of apples to bananas is 5:40, which simplifies to 1:8.
In the second row, the ratio of apples to bananas is 6:12, which simplifies to 1:2.
To find the missing values, we need to find a ratio that can be expressed as a fraction in simplest form and is equal to both 1:8 and 1:2. The only ratio that fits this criterion is 1:8, which corresponds to 15 apples and 120 bananas.
Therefore, the missing values are 15 apples and 120 bananas.
To answer this question, we need to analyze the given table and determine the missing values. The table compares the number of apples to bananas in a mixture. Let's examine the table:
Apples 5 40 50
Bananas 6 12 60
The table provides three sets of values: (5 apples, 6 bananas), (40 apples, 12 bananas), and (50 apples, 60 bananas). We can observe that the ratio of apples to bananas changes in each set.
To find the missing values, we can look for a pattern or establish a relationship between the given values. From the first set, we can conclude that a ratio of 5:6 exists (5 apples for every 6 bananas). Similarly, from the second set, a ratio of 40:12 (or simplified to 10:3) can be determined.
Using this information, we can apply the ratio of 5:6 to the third set to find the missing value for apples. In the third set, the number of bananas is 60. By multiplying this value by the ratio 5:6, we can find the corresponding number of apples:
(60 bananas) * (5/6) = 50 apples
Therefore, the missing values in the table are 50 apples and 60 bananas.
