Answer:
Option A
Step-by-step explanation:
Weight of an apple = twice of the weight of a lemon
Weight of an apple = 2(weight of a lemon)
x = 2y ------(1)
x = weight of an apple
y = weight of a lemon
Number of apples in a box = 16
Weight of the apple box (A) = 16x
Number of lemons in another box = 24
Weight of the lemon box (B) = 24y
Therefore, [tex]\frac{A}{B}=\frac{16x}{24y}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{A}{B}=\frac{2x}{3y}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{A}{B}=\frac{2(2y)}{3y}[/tex] [From equation (1)]
[tex]\frac{A}{B}=\frac{4y}{3y}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{A}{B}=\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
Option A will be the correct option.
