Answer:

12 green bags

Explanation:

Given data

The given ratio of green bags to white bags is

=2 to 5

=2:5

Number of white bags=30

Applying the part to part method, let the number of green bags be x

so

2/5=x/30

cross multiply

30*2=5x

60=5x

divide both sides by 5

x= 60/5

x=12

Hence there are 12 green bags
