Explore equivalent ratios by using the slider. Complete the sentences below.

For every __ apples, there are 6 oranges.

Answer 1

For every 2 apples there are 6 oranges,

Explanation:

If you did a ratio of apples to oranges, you would get 1:3.

This means for every one apple, there will be 3 oranges.

So if we have 2 apples, we would have 6 oranges. (2:6)

If you simplify/ break down that ratio to the furthest it can go, your final ratio would be 1:3. You simply add 3 more oranges when you add one more apple.

If I had 3 apples, I would do 3+3+3 to find how many oranges i need or 3 times 3.

Hope this helps
