Question

There are

15
apples in a basket.
9
of these apples are green. The rest of them are red.
(a) What is the ratio of green apples to red apples?
(b) What is the ratio of all apples in the basket to red apples?

Answer 1

A.it would be 9 over 15 so, 9/15. it can be simplified to 3/5. B. so add them together, 9 + 15 = 24, so there are 6 red apples in the basket. so it would be 6 over 24 or 6/24 that can be simplified to 1/4.
