Question

SWEET T HAS 2 ORANGE PICKS FOR EVERY 5 GREEN. IF THERE ARE 21 PICKS IN ALL, HOW MANY PICKS ARE ORANGE?

Answer 1

Answer:

For 21 picks, there are 6 orange

Step-by-step explanation:

orange: green   : total

2               5            2+5

2             5              7

If there are 21 picks, we need to divide by 7  to see how many times we need to multiply

21/7 = 3

Multiply everything by 3

orange: green   : total

2*3          5*3          7*3

6                 15           21

For 21 picks, there are 6 orange
