Answer 2

Answer:

Ratio of the number of chickens to apples = 0.625

Step-by-step explanation:

The farmer observes that 5 chickens eat 8 apples.

Number of chickens = 5

Number of apples eaten = 8

We need to find the ratio of the number of chickens to apples.

$\frac{\texttt{Number of chickens}}{\texttt{Number of apples eaten}}=\frac{5}{8}\\\\\frac{\texttt{Number of chickens}}{\texttt{Number of apples eaten}}=0.625$

Ratio of the number of chickens to apples = 0.625
