Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio of the calories in an orange to the calories in the cookie is $\frac{7}{26}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

One cookie has 130 calories.

An orange has 35 calories.

Thus

$\frac{Calories\ of\ orange}{Calories\ of\ cookie} = \frac{35}{130}$

Simplify the above

$\frac{Calories\ of\ orange}{Calories\ of\ cookie} = \frac{7}{26}$

Therefore the ratio of the calories in an orange to the calories in the cookie is $\frac{7}{26}$ .
