Question

There are 7 green apples and 6 red apples in a basket.
(a) What is the ratio of green apples to all apples in the basket?
(b) What is the ratio of all apples in the basket to red apples?

Answer 1

(a) ratio of green apples to all apples in the basket = 7 : 13

(b) ratio of all apples in the basket to red apples = 13 : 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: There are 7 green apples and 6 red apples in a basket.

Find: (a) What is the ratio of green apples to all apples in the basket?

(b) What is the ratio of all apples in the basket to red apples?

Solution:

Green apples = 7

Red apples = 6

Total number of apples = 7 + 6 = 13

(a) ratio of green apples to all apples in the basket = 7 : 13

(b) ratio of all apples in the basket to red apples = 13 : 6

Answer 2

FINDING RATIOS

Given :-

No. of green apples = 7

No. of red apples = 6

To Find :-

1. Ratio of green apples to all the apples in the basket.
2. Ratio of all apples to the red apples in the basket.

Solution :-

In order to find the ratio we need to calculate the total no. of apples present in the basket (Both green and red inclusive).

Total no. of apples = No. of green apples + No. of red apples.

Total no. of apples = 7 + 6 = 13 Apples.

1. Ratio of green apples to all the apples = No. of green apples : Total no. of apples = 7:13.
2. Ratio of all apples to red apples = Total no. of apples : No. of red apples = 13:6.

Hence solved!
