Amanda has 2 apples for every 3 oranges...

Question: If Amanda has 6 oranges, how many apples does she have?

SOLVE

Step 1:

I know that 3X2= 6, so I put a 2 in each of the three boxes next to oranges

Step 2:

Since all the boxes have the same number, I know that the two boxes next to apples also have "2" in them.

Step 3. Multiply 2X2 to get 4

Answer, Amanda has 4 apples
