There are 6 apples and 2 oranges.
So the ratio of apples to oranges would be 6:2.
However this can be simplified, because these number have a common factor, which is 2. So you divide 2 by 2, and 6 by 2, and get 1 and 3. So the ratio of apples to oranges in simplified form is 1:3. Hope this explains it :)

Answer:  The required ratio in simplest form is 3 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the ratio of apples to oranges in simplest form.

From the picture, we note that

the number of apples, a = 6

and

the number of oranges, o = 2.

Therefore, the ratio of the number of apples to the number of oranges is given by

a:o\\\\=6:2\\\\=\dfrac{6}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{3}{1}\\\\=3:1.

Thus, the required ratio in simplest form is 3 : 1.

A swimming pool has a length of 28 feet, a width of 16 feet, and a depth of 7 feet.
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The pool can hold 3,136 cubic feet of water

Step-by-step explanation:

To know how much water the pool can hold,  we need to find the volume of this swimming pool, because the volume is how much a container can hold.

The formula for volume is L*W*H (length times width times height)

Let's multiply!

28*16*7=3136
