12 because the ratio becomes 2:1 of orange to green
green = 4
orange = green × 2
orange = 8
total = 8+4 = 12

You have 4 green picks and, after adding some orange picks, you know that every 2 picks from 3 are orange.

So, 1 green pick needs 2 orange picks, three in total. Since you have 4 green picks, then you will have in total 3·4=12 picks (4 green and 12-4=8 orange).

Answer: there are 12 picks in total.
