Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the number of apples to oranges

Number of apples = 12

Number of oranges = 10

Number of apples in terms of oranges :

12 /10 = 1.2

Number of apples = 1.2(number of oranges)

If number of apples = x

Number of oranges = y

x = 1.2y

There are 1.2 times the number of apples than number of oranges.
