The grocer was making up a gift fruit basket. Half of the fruit were oranges. One forth were apples, one eighth were peaches, one sixteenth were bananas, and one-thirty-second were grapefruit and 2 were plums. Please state your answer, and tell me how you did it.
--------------------
Using the hints from above: Oranges = 16 Apples = 8 Peaches = 4 Bananas = 2 Plumbs = 2 GF = 1 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 33 so it looks like the basket has an extra piece of fruit. Try this: 32 + 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 64 is the amount of fruit in the basket.
