You just told us the ratio. It's 3 to 2. Salama can prepare three grades of fruit basket. Economy: 9 org & 6 ban. / / / Family: 12 org & 8 ban. / / / DeLuxe: 15 org & 10 bananas.

Answer:

9 oranges: bananas

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio is 3 oranges : 2 bananas, They add up to 5 fruits,  so some possible values are 5, 10, 15 , 20, 25, etc. We need a value between 8 and 16. This means that we need 15/5= 3 portions of fruits and since the ratio is 3:2

We multiply this by the original ratio to get  9 oranges : 6 bananas
