MathBot Answer:

Given:num pears:num peaches=2:6\begin{aligned}\text{num pears} : \text{num peaches} = 2 : 6\end{aligned}It follows:num pearsnum peaches=26\begin{aligned}\frac{\text{num pears}}{\text{num peaches}} = \frac{2}{6}\end{aligned}If there are 32 fruits, then:num pears+num peaches=32\begin{aligned}\text{num pears} + \text{num peaches} = 32\end{aligned}Therefore:num peaches=62×(32−num peaches)=24\begin{aligned}\text{num peaches} = \frac{6}{2} \times \left(32 - \text{num peaches}\right) = 24\end{aligned}
