Question

A fruit basket has 2 types of fruit: mangoes (M) and kiwis (K). If the total number of fruits in the basket is 12, the equation representing this is

• A. M + K = 12
• B. M - K = 12
• C. M = C - 12
• D. C = M - 12

Answer 1

The correct option is A M + K = 12

Given,
Total number of fruits in the fruit basket = 12
Hence, sum of fruits i.e., mangoes(M) and kiwis(K) in the bucket is 12.

$\therefore$ The equation that represents the given condition is M + K = 12.
