Answer:
There were 20 picks total
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use a proportion to solve this problem. Put the orange picks on top and the total picks on bottom
3 orange 12 orange
-------------- = ---------------
5 total x total
Using cross products
3x = 5*12
3x= 60
Divide each side by 3
3x/3 = 60/3
x = 20
There were 20 picks total
answer is C 1/4
see attached picture, it is not exact but with rounding it comes out correct.
