Given

GO.o has 3 orange picks for every 2 green

there are 25 picks in all

Find out how many picks are orange.

To proof

As given in question

GO.o has 3 orange picks for every 2 green

i.e the ratio of orange to every green becomes


(Orange)/(Green):(3)/(2)

total number of picks = 25

let the GO.o pick of 3 orange picks for every 2 green =x

than the equation becomes

3x + 2x = 25

5x = 25

x = 5

Than

the number of oranges = 3x

putting the value of x

= 15

the number of green = 2x

= 10

thus the 15 picks are orange.

Hence proved
