Question

There are

15
apples in a basket.
6
of these apples are green. The rest of them are red.
(a) What is the ratio of all apples in the basket to red apples?
(b) What is the ratio of red apples to green apples?

Answer 1

3/5 3/2

Explanation:

6 Green and 9 Red

Answer 2

a.

Out of 15, 6 are green, rest are red.

No. of red apples = 15 - 6 = 9

Ratio of all apples in the basket to red apples

= Total no. of apples : No. of apples that are red

= 15 : 9

= 5 : 3

b.

No. of apples that are green = 6

No. of apples that are red = 9

Ratio of red apples to green apples

= No. of apples that are red : No. of apples that are green

= 9 : 6

= 3 : 2
