Question

Abes apple orchard plans both green apple trees. This planting will include 21 red apple trees and 18 green apple trees. What is the ratio of green apples to red apples ?

Answer 1

The ratio of green apples to red apples is
`(6)/(7)`.

Explanation:

Given,

Number of red apples = 21

Number of green apples = 18

We have to find out the ratio of green apples to red apples.

Solution,

For finding the ratio we have to divide the number of green apples to the number of red apples.

So, we can frame the above sentence as;

`Ratio=\frac{\textrm{number of green apples}}{\textrm{number of red apples}}`

Now substituting the values, we get;

`Ratio=(18)/(21)=(6)/(7)`

Hence The ratio of green apples to red apples is
`(6)/(7)`.
