The ratio of apples to all fruit is B. 7:15. Here's how to solve:
First, since they're asking for how many apples there are to the total pieces of fruit, add up 28 with 20 and 12:
28 + 20 = 48 48 + 12 = 60
Now, since they're asking specifically <em />for apples <em />to total pieces of fruit, we arrange the ratio in that specific order. Since we know there are 28 apples and 60 fruit in total, the ratio should look like this:
28:60
Finally, we need to simplify the ratio. 4 can fit into both 28 and 60, so let's divide both numbers down by 4 first:
28 / 4 = 7 60 / 4 = 15
7 and 15 don't have any common factors, so these numbers are already in their simplest form. The new ratio should look like this:
7:15
So the correct answer is B! I hope this helped you! :)
