It was a matter of working backwards. Originally, my ratio was 3 u lemon tarts to 2 u of apple tarts.

So, after I knew the end ratio was 6 u lemon tarts to 1 u of apple tarts, I needed to add the same number of red units to both lemon and apple tarts till I get back the original ratio.

:) For me, it was just a matter of coincidence that each original unit was nicely divided into 5 smaller u. I probably wouldn't have deduced this straightaway without drawing out the model bit by bit.
