To determine the number of red apples needed, we need to find the ratio of red apples to green apples. From the image, we can see that there are three horizontal parts in the rectangle representing red apples and two horizontal parts in the rectangle representing green apples.
So, the ratio of red apples to green apples is 3:2.
If there are 12 green apples, we can use this ratio to find the number of red apples needed.
3/2 = x/12
Cross multiplying, we get:
2x = 3*12
2x = 36
Dividing both sides by 2, we get:
x = 18
Therefore, there are 18 red apples needed.
Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows two sets of rectangles. The first set, labeled red apples, shows a rectangle divided equally into three parts horizontally. The second set, labeled green apples, shows a rectangle divided equally into two parts horizontally.
The tape diagram shows the ratio of red apples to green apples. How many red apples are needed if there are 12 green apples?
(1 point)
