The ratio is 4:7 because since the ratio is red apples to green apples theirs 4 red apples and theirs 7 green
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the triangles is similar, so we have ...
3/5 = (3+x)/20
x = 20(3/5) -3
x = 9
__
4/5 = (4+y)/20
y = 20(4/5) -4
y = 12
__
3/5 = (3 + x + u)/60
u = 60(3/5) -3 -9
u = 24
__
4/5 = (4 +y +v)/60
v = 60(4/5) -4 -12
v = 32
