Question

I have 4 green picks and no orange picks. you add orange picks so that there are 2 orange picks for every 1 green pick. how many picks are there now.

Answer 1

8 orange picks are there...in total ...

Answer 2

no. of green picks = 4

2 orange picks are needed for every 1 green pick

therefore,

no. of orange picks = 2(no. of green picks)

= 2(4)

= 8 orange picks.

total no. of pricks = 4 + 8

= 12.
