Grandmother picked 4 times as many apples as pears.

Question

Grandmother picked 4 times as many apples as pears. What is the difference in the number of apples and pears picked if she picked 8 pears?

Answer 1

a = number of apples

p = number of pears

 

p = 8

a = 4p = 32 apples

 

32 apples minus 8 pears 

32-8 = 24

 

The difference between the number of apples and the

number of pears is 24
