Question

At Sally's market the ratio of apples to oranges is 4 to 7. If there are 28 oranges at her market

then how many apples are there?

Answer 1

16 apples

Explanation:

If the original ratio is 4:7.

Then we multiply both numbers by 4. Since 7 x 4 is 28.

So now you have (4x4):(7x4)

Your final ratio is 16 apples : 28 oranges
