Students at a school collected cans of fruits and vegetables for food drive they collected 300 cans in all. Three out of every five cans is vegetables how many out of the 300 cans of fruits and how many are vegetables
To find the number of cans of fruits and vegetables, we need to determine the proportion of each.
Three out of every five cans (3/5) are vegetables. This means that (3/5)*300 = <<(3/5)*300=180>>180 cans are vegetables.
The remaining cans must be fruits, so (300-180) = <<300-180=120>>120 cans are fruits.
Therefore, there are 120 cans of fruits and 180 cans of vegetables in total.
