| Draw a bar model with 7 equal units. 2 units = apples, 5 units = oranges. The gap of 3 units = 6. |
| Apples = 2/7 of total. Oranges = the rest = 1 - 2/7 = 5/7 of total. | ||
| Difference | = | \(\dfrac{5}{7} - \dfrac{2}{7} = \dfrac{3}{7}\) |
| 3/7 of the total = 6 fruits (the "6 more oranges than apples"). | ||
| 1/7 of total | = | 6 \(\div\) 3 = 2 fruits |
| Total (7/7) | = | 2 x 7 = 14 fruits |
