Sagot :

Since we have the following ratio for the fruits

6:5:3, for apples, oranges, and pears for a total of 14 fruits.

We will have that the number of fruits when total os 42, is the following:

So, the number of apples will be:

[tex]A=\frac{42\cdot6}{14}\Rightarrow A=18[/tex]

The number of Oranges will be:

[tex]O=\frac{42\cdot5}{14}\Rightarrow O=15[/tex]

And the number of pears will be:

[tex]P=\frac{42\cdot3}{14}\Rightarrow P=9[/tex]

And we corroborate by adding the number of fruits and that gives solution 42.

So in the number of pears is of 9 units.
