15. Because 1 in every 3 picks is orange. 1x5 = 5, and 3x5=15.
Hey There! Whoever we see the keyword “of”, we know that it’s multiplication Therefore we’re multiplying 1/3 and 7/1 that gives us 7/3
25 kids in all
2xboys:3x girls
so the equation would be
2x+3x=25
solve,
5x=25
/5 /5
x=5
2x=10
3x=15
10 boys and 15 girls
So that would be the same thing as 5 4/5 - 3 2/7
Put them in mixed fractions to become 29/5 - 23/7
Multiply one side by 7 and one side by 5 to get the same denominator
203/35 - 115/35
Now subtract the numerators to get
88/35
Or if they want it inixed numbers then 2 18/35
