If 3 out of 5 are oranges, this means the ratio is 3 oranges for every 5 total.

If there are 12 oranges, this is 4 groups of 3 oranges.  You will need 4 groups of 5 total to make it equivalent.

4 x 5 = 20 total fruit.

<u>3</u> x <u>4 </u>=  <u>12</u>
5 x 4     20

Answer:

The number of picks in all are:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

3 out of 5 picks are oranges.

i.e. out of the total 5 picks 3 are oranges.

so, the probability of oranges is:

3/5

Let 'n' picks be made.

Now, it is given that out of n picks made 12 are oranges.

i.e. the probability of oranges is:

12/n

Since, the probability of oranges are equal.

Hence,

\dfrac{3}{5}=\dfrac{12}{n}\\\\n=\dfrac{12\times 5}{3}\\\\n=20

Hence, the total number of picks that are made are:

20

vagabundo [1.1K]
This is a classic example of a 45-45-90 triangle: it's a right triangle (one angle of 90) & two other sides of the same length, which means two angles of the same length (and 45 is the only number that will work). With a 45-45-90 triangle, the lengths of the legs are easy to determine:
45-45-90
1-1-sqrt2
Where the hypotenuse corresponds to sqrt2.
Now, your hypotenuse is 10.
To figure out what each leg is, divide 10/sqrt2 (because sqrt2/sqrt2 = 1, which is a leg length in the explanation above).
Problem: you can't divide by radicals. So, we'll have to rationalize the denominator:
(10•sqrt2)/(sqrt2•sqrt2)
This can be rewritten:
10sqrt2/sqrt(2•2)
=10sqrt2/sqrt4
=10sqrt2/2
=5sqrt2 Hope this helps!!
