Respuesta :
2 orange + 1 green = 3 picks
Variable of interest goes on top while the total goes on bottom.
2 orange out of 3 picks is the same as 2/3
1 green out of 3 picks is the same as 1/3
First focus on the green to find total number of picks.
1 green / 3 picks = 6 green / x picks
Solve for x.
1/3 = 6/x
(multiply x on both sides)
1/3x = 6
x = 18 total picks
2/3x = orange picks
(plug in x)
2/3(18) = 12 orange picks
