Explanation:
Let’s figure out what each fruit stands for using the equations.
1. First equation:
🍌 + 🍌 = 8
That means two bananas equal 8, so one banana = 8 ÷ 2 =
4.
2. Second equation:
🍌 × 🍊 = 24
We already know 🍌 = 4, so:
4 × 🍊 = 24 → 🍊 = 24 ÷ 4 =
6.
3. Third equation:
24 ÷ 🍒 = 8
So, 🍒 = 24 ÷ 8 =
3.
(Note: The picture shows two cherries together — they are treated as one unit in this equation. So “two cherries” = 3.)
Now the final expression:
🍊 × 🍒 + 🍌 × 🍊 = ?
We have:
- 🍊 = 6
- 🍒 = 3 (this is the value for the pair of cherries shown)
- 🍌 = 4
So plug in:
6 × 3 + 4 × 6
= 18 + 24
=
42
Double-check:
- Banana = 4 ✔️
- Orange = 6 ✔️
- Cherries (pair) = 3 ✔️
- 6×3 = 18, 4×6 = 24, 18+24 = 42 ✔️
Final Answer:
42
