Question

A fruit stand has 28 apples, 20 oranges, and 12 pears. What is the ratio of apples to the total pieces of fruit?

Answer 1

Data:
Apples = 28
Oranges = 20
Pears = 12

What is the ratio of apples to the total pieces of fruit?
Solving:
$\frac{apples}{apples+oranges+pears} = \frac{28}{28+20+12} = \frac{28}{60} \frac{\div4}{\div4} \to\:\boxed{\boxed{ratio = \frac{7}{15}}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
