- 16
- 32
- 36
- 48
Explanation
Ratio of oranges to peaches to strawberries = 2:3:4
If there are 8 oranges, we can set up an equation based on the ratio:
Number of oranges = 2x = 8
To find the value of x, divide both sides by 2:
x = 8 ÷ 2
x = 4
Now that we know x, we can find the number of peaches and strawberries:
Number of peaches = 3x = 3(4) = 12
Number of strawberries = 4x = 4(4) = 16
Total number of fruit items = Number of oranges + Number of peaches + Number of strawberries
= 8 + 12 + 16
= 36
So, there are 36 fruit items in the basket.
