Question

For every 4 Red Apples, there are 7 Green Apples. If there are 848 Red Apples, then how many TOTAL Apples are there?

Answer 1

For every 4 Red Apples, there are 7 Green Apples

4 red apples = 7 green apples

i.e for 1 red apple = 7/4 green apples

Then for 848 red apples = 848 x 7/4 green apples

$\begin{gathered} 848\times\frac{7}{4}=212\times7 \\ 848\times\frac{7}{4}=1484 \end{gathered}$

For 848 red apples, there are 1484 green apples

Total number of apples = Number of red apples + Number of green apples

Total number of apples = 848 + 1484

Total number of apples = 2332 apples

Answer : 2332 Total apples
