Question

Azul has 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

There would be 12 total picks.

Explanation:

In order to find this, create a proportional equality in which the top of the equation is the number of orange picks and the bottom is the number of green picks.

2/1 = x/4

Now we cross multiply to find out the total number of picks.

1*x = 4*2

x = 8

Now that we have the number of orange picks, we add to the number of green picks for the total number.

4 + 8 = 12
