Question

The number of apples in a fruit basket is

directly proportional to the number of
oranges. If there are 2 apples and 5 oranges
in Mary's basket, how many more apples are
there in a basket that contains 35 oranges?

Answer 1

Answer:


2:5 = ?:35


How I figured this out is dividing 35 by 5 to get 7. So if there are 7 times more oranges there has to be 7times more apples.


7x2 = 14

14 apples or 14:35 in ratio form
