A fruit basket comprises of oranges, peaches and strawberries the ratio of orange to peachesto strawberriesis 2:3:4. If there are 8 oranges. How many total fruit items are there in the basket?

Ratio of oranges to peaches to strawberries = 2:3:4

If there are 8 oranges, we can set up an equation based on the ratio:

Number of oranges = 2x = 8

To find the value of x, divide both sides by 2:

x = 8 ÷ 2

x = 4

Now that we know x, we can find the number of peaches and strawberries:

Number of peaches = 3x = 3(4) = 12

Number of strawberries = 4x = 4(4) = 16

Total number of fruit items = Number of oranges + Number of peaches + Number of strawberries

= 8 + 12 + 16

= 36

So, there are 36 fruit items in the basket.
