Please help me with my math question: If 6 apples cost the same as 3 bananas, and 4 bananas cost the same as 5 melons, how many melons can Jane buy for the price of 32 apples
--------
Equations:
6a = 3b
4b = 5m
---------
b = 2a
So, 4b = 8a
---------
Since 4b = 5m, 8a = 5m
---------
Since 8a = 5m, 4*8a = 4*5m
----
Ans: 32a = 20m
The price of 8 apples buys 20 melons
