Answer 1

Answer:

The ratio of the calories in an orange to the calories in the cookie is 7 : 26.

Step-by-step explanation:

Calories in an orange = 35

and, calories in a cookie = 130

∴ the ratio of the calories in an orange to the calories in the cookie =35/130

=7/26

so, the ratio of the calories in an orange to the calories in the cookie is 7 : 26.
