Answer:

15 orange picks.

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of orange picks.

We have been given that G.o has 3 orange picks for every two green. We are asked to find the number of orange picks, if there are 25 picks in all.

Since there are 3 orange picks for every two green. so there will be 3 orange picks for all 5 (3+2) picks.

We will use proportions to solve our given problem.


(x)/(25)=(3)/(5)

Upon multiplying both sides of our equation by 25, we will get:


(x)/(25)*25=(3)/(5)*25


x=3*5


x=15

Therefore, there are 15 orange picks for all 25 picks.
