There are red and green apples in a crate.
There are 60 green apples in the crate.
The ratio of the number of red apples to green apples is 1:5
Georgia puts in some more red apples into the crate.
The ratio of the number of red apples to green apples is now 2:3
How many red apples does Georgia put into the crate?

Answer:

28

Step-by-step explanation:

60 apples by 5 is 12. When Georgia put some more apples in we now have to divide 60 by 3 which is 20 and then multiply that by 2 which is 40. So, if the ratio was 1:3 it would be 20:60 but it is 2:3 so the answer is 40:60. Do 40 minus 12 to find how much Georgia added. 40 minus 12 is 28.
