Answer:

3 green apples and 7 red apples.

Explanation:

1. Start with the ratio of green apples to red apples, which is 3 to 7.

2. Multiply 3 (the number of green apples) by any number to get a number that is divisible by 7 (the number of red apples).

3. In this case, multiplying 3 by 2 gives 6, which is divisible by 7.

4. Since 6 is divisible by 7, that means that the solution is 3 green apples and 7 red apples.
