Question

there are 9 green apples and 2 red apples in a basket.
(a) what is the ratio of all apples in the basket to red apples?

(b) what is the ratio of all apples in the basket to green apples?

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of apples

Total apples = green apples + red apples = \( 9 + 2 = 11 \)

Step2: Solve part (a)

Ratio of all apples to red apples = total apples : red apples = \( 11 : 2 \)

Step3: Solve part (b)

Ratio of all apples to green apples = total apples : green apples = \( 11 : 9 \)

Answer:

(a) \( 11:2 \)
(b) \( 11:9 \)
