Question

G.O. HAS 3 ORANGE PICKS FOR EVERY 2 GREEN. IF THERE ARE 25 PICKS IN ALL, HOW MANY PICK ARE ORANGE?

Answer 1

Answer: There are 15 orange picks

Explanation:

First we know that the ratio for Orange to Green is 3:2 so that for each five picks 3 of them are orange and 2 of them are green 25/5 is 5 so that means there are 5 five picks and as established every five picks is 3 orange picks we can say 3*5=15

Answer 2

There are 15 orange picks when we have 25 picks total

Explanation:

orange: green : total

3 2 5

We found the total by adding the orange and the green

We have 25 total picks

25/5 = 5

We need to multiply by 5 on everything to get to 25 picks

orange: green : total

3 *5 2*5 5*5

15 10 25

There are 15 orange picks when we have 25 picks total
