Question

If a bag contains 12 apples 4 bananas and 8 oranges what is the part - to- whole ratio of apple to all fruit

Answer 1

Answer:

3 to 7 or 3:7 or 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

So, there are 12 apples:                              12

                                                                   ------

There ar 12 + 8 = 20                     20 + 8 = 28 fruit total

So it is 12/28. But WAIT. You have to simplify so

12                  /                   4                           3

---                                    ------               =     -------

28                 /                   4                            7

4/4 = 1

So, 12/18 = 3/7. Meaning: There are 3 apples for every 7 total fruit. Ratio: 3 to 7 or 3:7 or 3/7
