Question

Jack manages a cafe, each day he buys watermelon and mangoes in the (respective) ratio of 3:2. if one day he buys 200 mangoes how many watermelons would he have bought?

Answer 1

Ratio of watermelon and mangoes is 3 : 2

It's means 3x watermelon and 2x mangoes per day

If he buys 200 mangoes it's means 2x = 200 and x = 100

Than watermelon ratio is 3x than 3×100 = 300 watermelons

If he buys 200 mangoes than he have to buy 300 watermelons .
