mMax has two basket of oranges. The ratio of the oranges in the basket A to those in basket B is 7:4. If Max puts half of the oranges in basket A to basket B, what is the new ratio of the oranges in basket A to basket B?

To find the new ratio of oranges in basket A to basket B, we need to determine the number of oranges in each basket after Max redistributes them.

Let's say the original number of oranges in basket A is 7x, and the original number of oranges in basket B is 4x, where x is a constant.

If Max puts half of the oranges in basket A into basket B, he will transfer half of 7x, which is (1/2) * 7x = (7/2)x oranges.

Therefore, the new number of oranges in basket A is 7x - (7/2)x = (14/2)x - (7/2)x = (7/2)x.

The new number of oranges in basket B is 4x + (7/2)x = (8/2)x + (7/2)x = (15/2)x.

So, the new ratio of oranges in basket A to basket B is (7/2)x : (15/2)x, which simplifies to 7:15.
