Manny and his friend Vince go apple-picking every October. This year, Manny picked 4 pounds of red apples and 5 pounds of green apples. Vince picked 3 pounds of red apples and 6 pounds of green apples. Did Manny and Vince pick the same ratio of red apples to green apples?

Answer: No

Explanation:

Given

Manny picked 4 pound of red apples and 5 pounds of green apples

Ratio of red to green apple is


\Rightarrow (4)/(5)

Vince picked 3 pounds of red apple and 6 pounds of green apples

Ratio of red to green apple is


\Rightarrow (3)/(6)=(1)/(2)

Thus, the ratio of red to green apple is not same for Manny and Vince.
