The crate has 22 red apples 15 green apples and 8 yellow apples what is the ratio that compares the number or green apples to the total number of apples.
there are 45 apples in all
Ooops! I can't count!!!
15/45 = 1/3
To find the ratio of the number of green apples to the total number of apples, you need to divide the number of green apples by the total number of apples.
First, let's determine the total number of apples. Add the number of red, green, and yellow apples together: 22 + 15 + 8 = 45.
Next, calculate the ratio by dividing the number of green apples by the total number of apples: 15 ÷ 45.
Simplifying the ratio, 15 ÷ 45 equals 1/3.
Therefore, the ratio that compares the number of green apples to the total number of apples is 1:3.
