Question

for every 4 green apples marion picks, she picks up 9 red apples. if marion picked 135 red apples, how many total apples did she pick?

Answer 1

60 green apples

Explanation:

Set up a proportion to the ratio of green to red to the actual green to red

`(4)/(9)` =
`(g)/(135)` 9 x 15 = 135, so multiply 4 x 15 to get the number of green apples

4 x 15 = 60

Answer 2

Answer: total apples are 195

Explanation:

since 9x15 is 135 you multiply 4 by 15 to get 60 then add 135 and 60 to get 195
