Hello There!

The ratio of orange to green is 2:5
5 + 2 = 7
21/7 = 3
2 x 3 = 6
5 x 3 = 15.
It would be a ratio of 6:15 now.
There are 6 orange picks.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)

Answer:

The number of picks which are orange is:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Sweet T has 2 orange picks for every 5 green.

i.e. if orange picks=2x then green picks=5x

There are 21 picks in all

i.e. 2x+5x=21

⇒ 7x=21

Dividing both sides by 7

⇒ x=3

So, number of orange picks=2×3=6

The number of picks which are orange is:

6
