This table shows the ratio of apples to oranges. A 2-column table has 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled Apples with entries 6, 9, 12. Column 2 is labeled Oranges with entries 10, 15, question mark. Find the missing value in the table of equivalent ratios.

Given:

This table shows the ratio of apples to oranges.

Apples      Oranges

   6                 10

   9                 15

  12                  ?

To find:

The missing value in the table of equivalent ratios.

Solution:

Let the missing value be x.

The ratios of apple and oranges are equivalent. So,

On cross multiplication, we get

Divide both sides by 3.

Therefore, the missing value is 20.
