Turn the question around.
If all the numbers were positive: 2.5, 1.6, 3 1/10, 1/10, and 0.5, which would be farthest to the right?
The fact is that the negative numbers are a reflection of the positive numbers.
Since 3 1/10 would be farthest to the right with positive numbers, -3 1/10 will be farthest to the left with the negative numbers.

Answer:
13:8:7
Step-by-step explanation:
84 - 24 = 60
60 oranges were either ripe or unripe.
18 more ripe oranges than unripe oranges.
x + 18 = ripe oranges
x = unripe oranges
x + 18 + x = 60
2x + 18 = 60
2x = 42
x = 21
21 are unripe oranges
21 + 18 = 39
39 oranges are ripe.
Ratio of the number of ripe oranges to the number of rotten oranges to the number of unripe oranges.
39:24:21
13:8:7
