A fruit basket comprises oranges, peaches, and strawberries. The ratio of oranges to peaches to strawberries is 2:3:4. If there are 8 oranges, how many total fruit items are there in the basket?

A) 16

B) 32

C) 36

D) 48

Solution by Preparation Point:

oranges : peaches : strawberries = 2:3:4

To make orange multiply with 4

oranges : peaches: strawberries = 2×4: 3×4: 4×4

= 8 : 12 : 16

Total = 36
