Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many fruits Xavier had originally, we can set up a proportion based on the information given.
Let the total number of fruits Xavier had be represented by x.
Xavier shared \frac{2}{5} of the fruits with his friends, which is equal to 18 fruits shared.
Therefore, we can set up the following proportion:
\frac{2}{5} \times x = 18
Solving for x:
x = \frac{18}{\frac{2}{5}}
x = 18 \times \frac{5}{2}
x = 45
So, Xavier originally had 45 fruits.
