There are 11 apples on the basket, if 5 of them are green and the rest are red, to determine the number of red apples, you have to calculate the difference between the total and the number of green apples:


11-5=6

a) There are 6 red apples on the basket, the ratio of all apples to red apples can be expressed as follows:

First, write the total number of apple and then write the number of red apples, separate both values by a colon


11\colon6

b) To write the ratio of red apples to green apples you have to write the number of red apples on the basket and the number of green apples, both values separated by a colon:


6\colon5
