Answer:

16 oranges

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of oranges to apples is 4:3 which means that for every four oranges, there are 3 apples.

Since there are 12 apples in the basket, to find the number of oranges, set up a ratio.

4/3 = x/12 (x represents the number of oranges)

Cross multiply.

48 = 3x

Divide by 3.

x = 16

There are 16 oranges in the basket.

Hope that helps.

Find the dependent value
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Y = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation (y = 12 + 5x) the X is the independent value. When you replace this by 3 you will multiply 3*5 which will give you 15 and then you will want to add 12 as that is your y intercept. Giving the value of your Y a 27, or the point would be (3,27)
