Question

Determine if the apples in the two given baskets are equivalent
$\left(1\right)$ There is a fruit basket that contains $30$ fruits and $18$ are apples.
$\left(2\right)$ There is a fruit basket that contains $20$ fruits and $12$ are apples.

• A. Equivalent
• B. Non Equivalent
• C. Cannot say

Answer 1

The correct option is A Equivalent

$\left(1\right)$ Fraction of apples in the fruit basket
$=\frac{18}{30}$
$=\frac{3}{5}$
$=\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{2}{2}$
$=\frac{6}{10}$
$=0.6$
$\left(2\right)$ Fraction apples in the fruit basket
$=\frac{12}{20}$
$=\frac{6\times 2}{2\times 10}$
$=\frac{6}{10}$
$=\frac{6}{10}$
$=0.6$
So, they are equivalent.
