a) the ratio of the number of apples to the number of oranges
b)the ratio of the number of oranges to the total number of fruits in the baskets​

Answer 1

a) no. of apples / no. of oranges=20/30
=2/3
OR 2:3
b) no. of oranges / total no. of fruits in the basket = 30/50
=3/5
OR 3:5

Answer 2

Answer :-

a) The Ratio of number of apples to the number of oranges is 2:3

b) The ratio of the number of oranges to the total number of fruits in the baskets is 5 : 3

Explanation :-

Given :

Total Apples = 20

Total Oranges = 30

Solution :

Answer a)

Ratio of number of apples to the number of oranges =

Apples = 20

Oranges = 30

$\sf{\implies}20 : 30$

Reduce them

$\sf{\implies} \dfrac{20}{30}$

$\sf{\implies} \dfrac{2}{3}$

$\sf{\implies}2 : 3$

$\boxed{\sf{2 : 3}}$

$\therefore$ The Ratio of number of apples to the number of oranges is 2:3

Answer b)

The ratio of the number of oranges to the total number of fruits in the baskets.

Total Fruits = 20 + 30 = 50

Oranges = 30

$\sf{\implies}50 : 30$

Reduce them

$\sf{\implies} \dfrac{50}{30}$

$\sf{\implies} \dfrac{5}{3}$

$\sf{\implies}5 : 3$

$\boxed{\sf{5: 3}}$

$\therefore$The ratio of the number of oranges to the total number of fruits in the baskets is 5 : 3
