current ratio: 4 apple trees for every 3 pear trees. wants: 2 avocado trees for every 5 pear trees in the orchard. Sandy is planting 18 avocado trees so 2 avocado trees for every 5 pear trees =1 avocado trees for every 2.5 pear trees therefore if we have 18 avocado trees 18 x 2.5 = 45 pear trees 4 apple trees for every 3 pear trees 4/3 = 1.333 apple trees for every 1 pear tree therefore if we have 45 avocado trees 45 x 1.333 = 60 apple trees therefore ratio of avocado to apple trees = 18 : 60 18 : 60 = 9 : 30 = 3 : 10
