Callie bought a bag of dried fruit: cherries, pears, and apples. In the bag, 1/4 of the dried fruit is cherries and 2/3 of the remainder is pears. There are 48 pear pieces. How many pieces of fruit are apples?

Respuesta :

Answer:

6 pieces of apples

Step-by-step explanation:

1/4 = 3/12 = cherries

2/3 = 8/12= pears

8 times 6 equals 48

pears = 48/72

cherries = 18/72

pears + cherries = 66/72

apples = 72/72 - 66/72

apples = 6/72 = 1/12

Answer:

Answer:

12 pieces of apples
