Question

There are 11 apples in a basket. 9 of these apples are green. The rest of them are red. What is the ratio of red apples to all apples in the basket? What is the ratio of red apples to green apples?

Answer 1

Red apples to all apples =2/11

Red apples to green apples =2/9

Explanation:

There are 11 total apples 9 of them are green and the rest are red so there are 11-9=2 red apples

The ratio of red apples to all apples = number of red apples ÷ total apples number = 2÷11

The ratio of red apples to green apples = number of red apples ÷ number of green apples = 2÷9

Explanation:

Answer 2

Red apples to all apples =2/11

Red apples to green apples =2/9

Explanation:

There are 11 total apples 9 of them are green and the rest are red so there are 11-9=2 red apples

The ratio of red apples to all apples = number of red apples ÷ total apples number = 2÷11

The ratio of red apples to green apples = number of red apples ÷ number of green apples = 2÷9
