Answer: The given statement is FALSE.
Step-by-step explanation: Given that Mrs Adams buys 4 bananas and 6 apples.
We are to check whether the following statement is true or false :
" the ratio of bananas to apples is 6 : 4".
The number of bananas, b = 4
and
the number of apples, a = 6.
Therefore, the ratio of number of bananas to number of apples is given by
[tex]b:a\\\\=\dfrac{b}{a}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=2:3\neq6:4.[/tex]
That is, the ratio of number of bananas to number of apples is 2 : 3.
Thus, the given statement is FALSE.
