3:2 is the ratio
Total =30
So apples in the cart
3/5 *30 = 18

Ratio of apples to oranges is 3:2. Tim has 12 oranges. How many apples?
Method I:
\(\frac{A}{O}\) = \(\frac{3x}{2x}\)
\(O = 12 = 2x\)
\(x = 6\), the multiplier for the ratio
He has 3x apples, (3*6) = 18 apples
Method II:
\(\frac{A}{O}\) = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
\(2A = 3 O\)
\(A =\frac{3}{2}O\), and \(O = 12\)
\(A = \frac{3}{2}\)(12) = 18 apples
