Question

g.o ha 3 orange picks gor every 2 green if there are 25 in all how many are orange

Answer 1

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1. You can make the following expression, where $O$ is the orange picks and $G$ is the green picks:

$O+G=25$

2. You have that there are 3 orange picks gor every 2 green, therefore:

$[tex]\frac{3}{2} =\frac{O}{G}\\ G=\frac{2}{3}O$[/tex]

3. Substitute $G$ into the first equation and solve for $O$:

$O+\frac{2}{3}O=25\\ \frac{5}{8}O=25\\ O=15$

The answer is: There are 15 orange.
