Answer 3

The table shows that for every 3 apples, they need 1 orange. If there are 5 oranges needed, we can use the ratio of 3 apples to 1 orange to determine the number of apples needed.

Since for every 3 apples, they need 1 orange, we can set up a proportion:

3 apples / 1 orange = x apples / 5 oranges

Cross-multiplying,

3 * 5 oranges = 1 * x apples

Therefore, x = 3 * 5 = <<3*5=15>>15.

So, A will equal 15 if there are 5 oranges needed.

Answer 4

If there are 5 oranges needed, the ratio of apples to oranges is 3:1. To find the number of apples needed, we can multiply the number of oranges by the ratio.

5 oranges * 3 apples/orange = 15 apples.

Therefore, A will equal 15 if there are 5 oranges needed.
