Answer 1

Answer:

1.NO

2.NO

3.100 and 50

4. yes

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Yes we can say that it contains 2 apples and 1 oranges as the ratio is 2/1 or 2:1.

2) Yes, since the ratio is 2:1, number of apples will be more than oranges always.

3) 100 and 50 . as the ratio would be 100/50= 2/1=2:1

4) Yes, we can calculate the percentage. let the total number of fruits be X. then

No of apples is

$\frac{2}{3} x$

No of Oranges is

$\frac{1}{3} x$

Percentage of apples is

$( \frac{ \frac{2}{3} x}{x}) \times 100 = 66.67\%$

percentage of Oranges is

$( \frac{ \frac{1}{3} x}{x} ) \times 100 = 33.33\%$
