Jafar has a fruit basket with 13 pieces of fruit. He has 1 orange, 5 apples, 4 kiwis, and 2 pears in the basket. He also has bananas in the basket. He wants to write an inequality that compares the fraction of the basket that represents bananas to the fraction that represents apples.

?/13 < 5/13

What is the missing numerator?

Hello there!

Answer: 1/13

1/13 would represent the amount of bananas in the basket.

There would be only 1 banana because it would complete he amount of fruits in the basket.

In the basket, we know that there are:

1 orange + 5 apples + 4 kiwis + 2 pears = 12

That would be 12 fruits, but there are suppose to be 13 fruits, which means that the remaining 1 fruit would be a banana.

So, that means that the amount of bananas in the basket is 1 out of 13, or 1/13.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The missinh numerator is actually just the number of bananas in the basket. You can find it by just subtracting the number of different fruit from the total number of fruit.

13-1-5-4-2=1

Hope this helps!
