Question

There are 7 green apples and 6 red apples in a basket.

(a) What is the ratio of all apples in the basket to green apples?

(b) What is the ratio of red apples to all apples in the basket?

Answer 1

To find the ratios, we first need to determine the total number of apples in the basket.

There are 7 green apples and 6 red apples:
- Total apples = Green apples + Red apples = 7 + 6 = 13 apples

Now we can compute the ratios:

(a) The ratio of all apples in the basket to green apples:
- Total apples: 13
- Green apples: 7

Ratio = Total apples : Green apples = 13 : 7

(b) The ratio of red apples to all apples in the basket:
- Red apples: 6
- Total apples: 13

Ratio = Red apples : Total apples = 6 : 13

So, the answers are:
(a) 13 : 7
(b) 6 : 13
