Question

If a bag contains 12 apples, 4 bananas, and 8 oranges, what is the part-to-whole ratio bananas to all fruit

Answer 1

1:6 is the answer. there are 4 bananas and 24 pieces of fruit total so it would be 4:24 until you simplify it to 1:6

Answer 2

Answer:

Required part-to-whole ratio bananas to all fruit = 1 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of apples in the bag = 12

Number of bananas in the bag = 4

Number of oranges in the bag = 8

Total number of fruits in the bag = 12 + 4 + 8

                                                      = 24

Now, We need to find the part-to-whole ratio bananas to all fruit.

So, Required part-to-whole ratio bananas to all fruit = Number of bananas : Total number of fruits

⇒ Required part-to-whole ratio bananas to all fruit = 6 : 24

⇒ Required part-to-whole ratio bananas to all fruit = 1 : 4
