There are 56 pieces of fruit in a box. One-fourth of the box contains oranges. There are half as many peaches as oranges and five times as many apples as peaches. How many apples are in the box?
Thoughts? Step-by-step reasoning:
User
Oranges = 56 * 1 / 4 = 14 oranges. Peaches = half of oranges = 14 / 2 = 7 peaches. Apples = 5 * peaches = 5 * 7 = 35. There are 35 apples in the box.
Thus, the answer is 35.
