Question

The ratio of berries to oranges is 10:1. If there are 25 oranges, how many berries are there?

Answer 1

250 berries

Explanation:

Berries : Oranges = 10 : 1

Let the number of berries = x

10 : 1 = x : 25

Product of means = 1*x = x

Product of extremes = 10 * 25 = 250

Product of means = product of extremes

x = 250

250 berries
