Let the ratio of oranges to apples be x.
So, the ratio of oranges to apples is 4x and 8x.
Therefore, Total oranges = 4x and total apples = 8x
Since, a total of 96 apples and oranges are grown on his farm.
So, [tex] 4x+8x=96 [/tex]
[tex] 12x=96 [/tex]
[tex] x =\frac{96}{12} [/tex]
[tex] x=8. [/tex]
Therefore,
Total number of oranges = [tex] 4x [/tex]
= [tex] 4 \times 8 [/tex]
= 32.
So, there are 32 oranges grown at Pruitt's farm.
