The ratio of bananas to grapes is 1:4. If there are 30 pieces of fruit.altogether, how many bananas are there

Let the number of bananas be x. According to the ratio, the number of grapes is 4x. Together, there are 30 pieces of fruit: x + 4x = 30 Simplifying: 5x = 30 Dividing both sides by 5: x = 6 Therefore, there are 6 bananas. To confirm: Number of grapes = 4x = 4(6) = 24 Total number of fruits = 6 + 24 = 30
