Answer 2

Answer:

a)  The ratio of the number of apples to the number of oranges is 7:5

b) The ratio of the number of oranges to the total number of fruits in the basket is 5:12

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we have been asked to find the

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 basket

So, first of all, we will divide the number of apples to the number of oranges in the basket in order to get the ratio of apples to oranges

=$\frac{35}{25}$

=$\frac{7}{5}$

=7:5

Secondly, we will divide the number of oranges by the total number of fruits in the basket to get the ratio of the number of oranges to the number of fruits

=$\frac{25}{60}$

=$\frac{5}{12}$

=5:12
