A produce store sold 63 red apples If the ratio of red apples to green apples sold was 7:2 what is the amount of green apples sold

Answer 1

If you cross multiply 63 over X and 7 over two you get 7x=126. Divide 126 by 7 and X=18

Answer 2

18

Explanation:

ratio of red apples to green apples is 7:2

red apples = 63

First, divide 63 with 7

63/7 = 9

Next, multiply the number gotten with the ratio number for green apples

9 x 2 = 18

18 green apples were sold
