Question

The ratio of tomatoes to red apples is 2:5. If they are 20 tomatoes,how many red apples are there?

Could you please help me​

Answer 1

Assume each ratio is x.

2:5 becomes 2x:5x

Given: tomatoes - 20

2x = 20,

x = 10

Now plug in:

5x = 5(10) = 50

There are 50 red apples

Answer 2

50

Explanation:

20÷2=10

2x10=20 So, 5×10= 50

There are 50 red apples.
