Question

there are 2 orange picks for every 5 green. if there are 21 picks in all how many picks are orange?

Answer 1

15 green 6 oranges i think that's right.

Answer 2

Hello!

First you have to count the total of picks before it goes back to the beginning

2 + 5 = 7

There are 7 total picks before the cycle resets

Divide the the amount of picks by 7

21 / 7 = 3

Multiply this by the amount of picks that are orange

2 * 3 = 6

The answer is 6

Hope this helps!
