The table shows that for every 3 apples, they need 1 orange. If there are 5 oranges needed, we can use the ratio of 3 apples to 1 orange to determine the number of apples needed.
Since for every 3 apples, they need 1 orange, we can set up a proportion:
3 apples / 1 orange = x apples / 5 oranges
Cross-multiplying,
3 * 5 oranges = 1 * x apples
Therefore, x = 3 * 5 = <<3*5=15>>15.
So, A will equal 15 if there are 5 oranges needed.
